Production Club contacted us to presented a piece for the Intersect Festival 2019 in Las Vegas.
Mixed Mirrors is an installation to create a place to meet and to spend a good time with a group of people functioning as a whole to create one identity. Specially in these years, most of our interactions are purely digital and cold in a distance.
Therefore, we wanted to create a space that, exploiting these same digital resources, wants to create a more physical and real connection. A spotlight, a fireplace, a lighthouse that enlightens and attracts people that don’t know each other that can interact reflecting their faces in a mirror that will blend all faces in one.

The setup in Intersect was of 10 LED totems put in a circle facing outside, one screen per person. Its functioning is that each totem is connected to a camera that detects people’s faces deforming them and mixing them altogether with different transitions in real time. For instance, 10 people could play at the same time and see their faces plastically being deformed and mixed in a giant ‘mirror’. It’s indeed a generative and interactive sculpture and it builds its own narrative background.
