Creative Response

Sorry for the delay in posting, but here is out creative response!

We created a black box using foam cores and the black box is all you can see from the outside. With having an open side, if you put your head in the black box, you will see yourself in a mirror and the different colors reflected by foils (to make the reflection stronger we placed a lamp behind the mirror as light source). The material choice is inspired by Brendan as we see him making progress towards the sculpture. Brendan had made lots of black boxes with foam cores which will be arranged around the cloud structure. Our idea behind this installation work is people can never see themselves, even the faces they see in mirrors are not real. As self images are implemented by our illusion, what we think ourself look like may differ from our real appearance. This is connected with how Brendan plays with the reality and virtual reality: there is not a fixed boarder between the actual world and the virtual world because people can transform actual things into a virtual world as well as bring something we are used to see in virtual reality into real life.

Sadly I cannot upload images of our installation because I have used up my 500 MB quota. If you want to see it please let me know and I will email the images!
