The Omniscient Frame

2025, antique gilded frame, wood, video LCD screen, internal electronics, 22" X 22" X 6"

"The Omniscient Frame," a multimedia sculpture by Keith Francis. A circular, antique gilded frame is mounted onto a black disc against a white wall. At the center is a circular screen displaying a high-contrast, black-and-white video of a human eye. The eye is stylized and appears to be observing the viewer from within the ornate gold border.
