The exhibit is titled “Art in Translation: Selfie, The 20/20 Experience.” Visitors access the exhibit by entering the apartment lobby and taking the elevator one flight down to the basement. When the doors open, viewers directly face a full-body mirror. There is a small point-and-shoot camera in front of the mirror, which is connected to a laptop a few feet away. “Visitors engage with individuality through the camera by taking photos of themselves facing the mirror,” Specchio said. “It really boosts confidence and makes people feel sexy.” (via Innovative mirror art gallery from Gallatin alum to be displayed)

The National #Selfie Portrait Gallery, opening this week at the Moving Image Contemporary Art Fair in London, is one of the first major exhibitions to critically examine this phenomenon of digital expression within a gallery context. The installation features a rotating series of short form video selfies (think Vine or Instagram video) of 19 emerging artists of the millennial generation commissioned by curators Kyle Chayka and Marina Galperina.
