The Aura Camera is back! With the final days of summer upon us, time to reflect on and recalibrate our energies as we head into a new school year and prepare for the busy brisk days ahead.
We’ll have our Aura Camera studio available from 12-4pm.
Developed by Guy Coggins in the 1970’s, an aura photograph is created by attaching an instant film camera to two electrode hand plates containing physiological sensors. Through the meridian points in a person’s hands, these plates sense the vibrational frequency they radiate. That frequency is then matched to a corresponding color through an algorithm in the camera. The image produced is a double exposure of the subject and the colored electricity of their body.
Join us at 2pm for a special LGBTQ+ tour of the museum, park and our Queer Ecologies Project garden. We will take a deep dive into Alice’s photographs, close relationships and what was happening in queer history during Alice’s lifetime.
*Due to limited availability, advance registration is required for the 2pm tour. Register here.
*Discount available to those who register for both an aura session and tour.
