Prom picture
In tapping into the American phenomenon of high school prom and the social media ecology surrounding it, Prom Picture enlists contemporary image culture as a foil to envision a culture of its own. The project constructs an image that is both unique to the prom-goer while celebrating the larger collective and emerging cultural phenomenon surrounding prom in Detroit. The installation features a set of physical chroma-keyed objects upon which patterns generated by an image-based algorithm are mapped.
