Cibachrome is a method of photography printing that ceased production in 2012, which artists worked with globally. Unfortunately, the process itself is not well documented, and information of its history is not widely known. We worked with the Cibachrome Association and the Marly Innovation Center (MIC) to help compile information on artists who used Cibachrome. To learn about the people that worked with Cibachrome, we interviewed professionals, conducted museum observations, and researched existing literature. We created a prototype database of the 163 artists and 550 artworks we discovered, which was then curated into a timeline of the most prominent for use in a future exhibit.
