Restaurant in the Seagram Building, NY 2000
"The restaurant is without glass, view or connection with the street. This irony prompted a series of alternate responses to the relation between glass and vision. A plasma monitor at the entry, back-to-back with a video camera to the street, produces a virtual transparency...The ritual of making an entrance is split into two events. A sensor above the revolving door triggers a video snapshot with the entry of every new patron and his or her image is added to a continuously changing video display over the bar. The most recent video portaits assumes the first position and racks the previous 15 across, dropping away the oldest".
