COS•MO: The Constant Self Recording Mode is a phrase first used by Gilles Massot in 2003 to describe the phase and processes that the world entered following 1826 after Nicéphore Niepce managed to fix the first visually preserved moment in time — an entity better known today as a 'photograph'.

Today, thousands of images and videos are shared on the Internet and viewed from far reaches of the world in the matter of seconds, "liked" or "disliked" with the click of a mouse. The world is no longer simply looking at itself existing as if in a mirror but is constantly recording itself onto itself, as if the mirror had developed a memory of its own.

The identity of the show abstractly resembled the daguerreotype camera, but also reflected the 'layering' of images piling on top of one another, extracting it's primary colours from the black and reds of the recording button on a camera screen.
