Autonomous Mirror.Interactive computer installation at "Visa", Theater Le Manege, Maubeuge, at "Exit", Maison des Arts, Creteil and at "Wunschmaschine Welterfindung", Kunsthalle, Vienna 1996
Concept: Christian Moeller, Graphics and movement algorithms: Lifeforms, Center for Systems Science at Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, Canada
This installation has two perspectives: From the outside, it resembles a large wall mirror, but instead of the expected reflection of themselves, visitors see a wire frame figure with human proportions. Using artificial intelligence, this mirror image uses a video camera to track visitor's movements and imitate them. From the reverse perspective of the installation, a second observer may look through a window to see the first gesticulating in front of the mirror, and superimposed upon this figure, computer generated tracings of particles resembling pixel clusters.
