TL;DR
Jeremy Cowart dressed in all white, sat on a seat with an LED screen behind him, and a projector, camera, and live audience in front of him.
The screen behind him would show a scene, while the image being projected on to his all-white outfit would splash him with contrasting colors, creating a portrait.
Every time the camera shutter triggered, the imagery coming from the screen and projector would change - creating a new, unique portrait each time.
After 25 mins, Jeremy Cowart had produced 10,000 unique self portraits - each of which will be released as an NFT next Tuesday (May 9th).

For example:

The spectacle of such an effort is bound to win some respect.
Jeremy Cowart's story won us over in the same way. Here's what he did:

The screen behind him would show a scene, while the image being projected on to his all-white outfit would splash him with contrasting colors, creating a portrait.
He sat there for 25 minutes, with the camera firing away.
Every time the camera shutter triggered, the imagery coming from the screen and projector would change - creating a new, unique portrait each time.
To the audience, it was a 25 minute blur of near-seizure inducing flashes:
But once it was over, Jeremy Cowart had produced 10,000 unique self portraits - each of which will be released as an NFT next Tuesday (May 9th).
Are we going to like the end result? No idea!
But the sheer spectacle of JC's massive effort has already won our respect.
