MIRROR, a limited
edition electronic artwork, is a surveillance vanity mirror
which detects presence and follows a detected person so that
her face is always in its center.
MIRROR is a derivative of
ACCESS. It takes a consumable and turns it into an unexpected
surveillance tool, in a twist of Detournement.
The usage of the mirror is perverted. It is no longer a static piece of reflective
glass where you can see your image, but an interactive eye that is following
you.
Technical Description
MIRROR is a self-contained work, entirely plug-and-play.
Using a small built-in video camera and ultrasonic sensors,
it tracks a moving observer by panning and tilting so that
the observer is constantly facing the mirror. MIRROR was
developed with custom software and completely designed
and fabricated using computerized manufacturing.
