An exploration in perception and phenomenology which considers audiovisual art as a participatory experience. Involving multi-sensory projection, optical sheeting, reflection, lighting, and sonic composition.

The work invites the viewer to consider representations of themselves alone and together with other viewers. Reminiscent of a funfair mirror flexible silver two-way mirror sheeting forms the centrepiece of the work. Lights controlled by custom software are linked to sound samples in a generative pattern creating an unfolding opto-sonic composition – the viewer unaware of when the lights will reveal them within the work, and the sonic textures encouraging a meditative state for exploration. The viewer may see his or herself multiplied or doubled with another viewer as an Other, or find themselves alone in a rare moment of literal reflection. Providing either a contemplative space or eliciting a hallucinatory fantasy, the installation has characteristics based around perceptual distortions of the Self.



Two-way mirror sheeting (1800mm x 3000mm), 2 x programmable DMX lights (custom software by Spatial), 1 x data projector, sound composition, custom software, viewer reflection.
