Time Capsule Over Manhattan

Flip-Discs, software, camera, computer
Executed in 2023
Diptych with each canvas measuring 55 x 38 in (138 x 96 cm)

Commissioned by Rockefeller Center for “New Frontiers,” the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller-Inspired Exhibition at Top of the Rock. 

Time Capsule is an innovative, interactive piece that invites the viewer to engage with the artwork and become a part of its history. Created by the artist collective BREAKFAST using their custom-engineered Flip-Disc medium, this computer-controlled kinetic artwork captures clips of those who interact with it and then plays them back in a continual cycle. With its blend of technology and traditional mediums, Time Capsule invites the viewer to explore the intersection of the past and present and to leave their own mark on the artwork's history.
