mirror++ interactive installation

mirror++ connects human movement to the organic beauty of graphic algorithms. The audience can experience their own image transformed into a complex visual structure. By moving around, the audience members can have a dialogue with their brand new, extraordinary mirror image.

mirror++ is a playful visual instrument and an experiment in using movement as a tool for interaction. It was originally developed for Intencities dance performance at Artgenda 2000 Biennale.
