Active Mirror Prints / Sean Clark
Exhibited at Interact from 12th September 2011 to 12th January 2012
Active Mirror is a term I use to describe my large scale interactive pieces that reflect the users' movements back to them. In an installation at the Sparking The Imagination event at Phoenix Square in June 2011, the artwork captured multiple video loops of the people interacting with it and overlaid them to create an interesting feedback loop that was aimed at the younger audience. The piece invited the children to get up in the stage and play with the balloons provided. They then discovered that they could make elaborate patters and shapes appear on the screen.
