Yeah, it looks like it
I in the Sky comprises a street-level photo-booth at the chashama gallery paired with the Conde Nast Lumacom electronic display sign. The Lumacom will broadcast digital portraits taken by photo-booth visitors that have been animated by Enriquez to resemble flip-book images.
An animated portrait of YOU...and you and you and you...! beamed from the curviest photobooth to a giant, glowing, Times Square Lumacom screen...

Michael Casselli (photo booth installation designer)
"I work all over, in theater and the visual arts, using whatever media fits the need of each project. This allows me to stay away from stylistic repetition, and constantly challenges me to come up with something different from the last thing I did. I have been lucky to work with other artists who also embrace this mode of discovery. My scenic work for Reza Abdoh was more installation then set design, my machine design for Elizabeth Streb was exciting as it was potentially dangerous if put in the wrong hands. In my installation work, I employ the viewer as a necessary component of the work, allowing their reaction to the situations I create further the intention of the piece. I see everything I do to be a combination of theater, of performance and of interaction. There is an essential physical relationship and response and that is the most prevalent stylistic thread that I utilize in my work. It continues to offer me a endless range of possibilities to work within. WIth I in the Sky, I am able to collaborate with Raul, to design for him the portal through which his work gets funneled, an object and an environment that hopefully adds to the overall experience of the portrait by bringing it out in a playful and engaging way."
