Artist Lincoln Schatz plays with time, narrative and memory to create what he calls “generative video portraits.” Using video cameras and computer software, he makes art that changes with each viewing, constantly revealing something new about his subjects.

In one project, CUBE, subjects spend an hour inside a translucent 10-foot cube dancing, painting, exercising or doing whatever they feel best represents their unique personalities. Twenty-four cameras film them from various angles, and Lincoln uses the resulting thousands of video files to design evocative portraits from randomized, overlapping images.
