Clever Mirrors follow passerbys
This interesting art piece shows a bunch of floor bound mirrors turning and following passerbys.
When members of the audience occupy the space, the mirrors inquisitively follow someone that they find interesting. Having chosen their subject, they all synchronise and turn their heads towards them. Suddenly that person can see their reflection in all of the mirrors.
They will watch this person until they become disinterested, then either seek out another subject or return to their private chatter. The collective behaviour of the objects is beyond the control of the viewer, as it is left entirely to their discretion to let go of their subject.
It seems a little creepy. I suspect you might feel uneasy that these mechanical “beings” are turning and watching you as you wander in front of them, but they’re throwing your image right back at you. But they’re so low down and short that they don’t really feel like a threat…
