The project will be on display during Scotiabank Nuit Blanche 2010. The work will be presented on the second floor of Levack Block, located at 88 Ossington, Toronto.      Inside the venue, several medium sized (around 60cm X 90cm, or 2 X 3 feet) paintings will be hung on the walls. With the naked eye, the audience will only be able to see blank canvas, with nothing on it; but when viewed through a digital camera, an image will appear on the camera's view screen. The only way to experience the artwork is to photograph it.      This series explores the relationship between the ubiquity of digital cameras and social media, which encourages all aspects of daily life to be documented, and the culture of museums and galleries, which strictly prohibits photographing works of art. These invisible paintings require that they be photographed for the image to be unlocked for the viewer.      What kind of images are on these canvases? Well, since you are taking it's picture, the canvas will smile for you. Images of winks, tongues, and smiles will be revealed on the camera's view screen.      A special kind of digital camera is not required, even the one built in to a cellphone will reveal the images. wink, Brad Blucher, Kyle Clements, 2010.
