Experience description: Visitors can record themselves as a series of images superimposed over two seconds, using a camera triggered by their movements. The exhibit uses a rotating disk with a slit to allow light to intermittently enter the camera over a long exposure, capturing moments of motion in a single image.
Content goals/learning objectives: This exhibit encourages visitors to explore the connection between position and time by capturing motion in a still image. They can experiment with movement and view themselves, others, and objects in new ways. The exhibit also connects visitors to the history of motion studies through associated images by Harold “Doc” Edgerton, a Nebraska native.
