SILVER MIRROR
A camera captures the graphic image of the audience’s faces and projects the images onto a silver sculptural device. Through physical computing sensors, the audience's’ facial expressions are detected and computed into a system that deforms the detected expressions of the audience’s face, an allusion to cyborgs.
People today seem to spend a great portion of the day staring at their computer monitor’s, carrying a limited facial expression throughout the day. Hence, the work allows the audience to observe their own facial expressions on the mirror, not the exact mirror image but a range of expressions that they could make.
Here is a short video clip of the simulation.
