Would be easier to create a fake version of the site and change your host
file to display whatever url you want.  It could update just like the normal
site and fool a video camera as well.

If the location of the work is not in question, and you can determine GPS
coordinates of the camera shot you could take a picture of celestial bodies,
the sun the moon perhaps.. at dusk some stars possibly?   You'd need some
pretty precise measurements I'd think to determine down to the day but I do
believe it would be possible.  Outside of altering the image that should be
tamperproof.

I'll be the first to say that I don't think that it'll be easy to do.
