What we do
We set it as a booth wall. Visitors photograph themselves and post it, so the piece markets the room it is standing in.
What it is
The 1879 dot process, pointed at a live face. Point a camera at the room and it runs through a print shop in real time: halftone screens with ten dot shapes, including the newspaper dot that turns square in the midtones, and true CMYK separations at the trade angles, composited subtractively so the rosettes are real rather than a filter's impression of them.
Where it goes
A booth wall at an exhibition or a brand foyer. Visitors photograph themselves and post it, so the piece markets the room it is standing in.
