Blinks & Buttons is a set of two projects investigating the camera as a networked object. One of the projects, `Buttons' contains a camera like device, that records a moment in time with someone elses picture. Buttons does this by searching for public photos that were taken at the same instant as the device's shutter release, thus making a virtual exposure. Buttons only records the image it finds, not the image you are seeing in person.
The installation Blinks which contains a prism which refracts the ray of time running through a photo into all the moments that were captured simultaneously in different places.
