    Mirror Site (Back to Back)

    Shapiro Student Center, Brandeis University and Siebel Center for Computer Science, UIUC2006

    extension of one space into another through perspectival illusion

    LINKS

    Commissioned as part of the Brandeis University installment of the traveling exhibition Balance and Power, this iteration of the Mirror Site series employs surveillance-type cameras in the creation of a temporal visual link between two university buildings. Plasma screens in two locations switch from their regular programming to a ten minute live webcam connection at :20 and :50 of each hour. Viewers at each location see themselves in the foreground, and the distant space composited into the background, via perspectival alignment. At the very back of each view is visible the plasma display of the opposite location, viewers' backs to the camera.
