A new mode of making moving imagery emerges with particular emphasis to the placement of the camera in order to reveal the dynamic relationship between an audience and their 21st-century environment. Using a Browning Trail camera with a motion-activated sensor & minimal mediation, nature records itself. By using an iPhone, and social media platforms, new audiences are invited to share, post, and engage with artworks like no other time in history.
