DescriptionThe object is a flip book with digitally printed photographs of the computer software entrepreneur Peter Norton and his wife Gwen Adams on each page. Each photograph has a minuscule differentiation of action or pose. Flipped at high speed, the viewer sees Peter Norton sitting on his couch as his wife comes to join him. They both pick up their reading material, which for Peter is an iPad and for Gwen a newspaper. If the book is turned horizontally and flipped, text appears in progression as “Gwen and Peter Norton wish you a happy and prosperous New Year.”
