Visiting Artist: Ethan D. Jackson, camera obscurist
I actually went to the viewing on March 16. When I arrived, it just looked like a construction site, but when I went into the camera obscura display room, I was pretty amazed. At first I wondered, why is everyone staring at this upside down wallpaper. I've seen camera obscuras in a box before, but never even thought about one this size! I noticed that the wallpaper moved and realized what an idiot I am. I thought it was really cool. I might have to experiment with this some time. I really liked the videos he showed with the old house. It reminds me of Cesar's Palace in Las Vegas. They have the fake clouds on the roof to make it always seem light out. Except Ethan's clouds move! I bet he could hook up famous people's houses like that and get rich! I wouldn't mind having something like that in my house every day. Anyway, I really enjoyed the display and hope to see more examples of other artist's work in the future.
