The Akiniscope will be a box on wall that take a photograph when someone stands in front of it for a certain time. The photo will be a composite of several photos, taken over time, each part gradually revealed.

The box will look like an old piece of electronic test equipment, with a display and multiple buttons switches and dials, with obscure labels. All switches will work, well, they’ll have an effect on what is displayed. The box will hum and clunk, will glow and, hopefully, smell of old electronics.

This is the type of kit, that I used to work with, and the look and feel I’ll try to emulate.
