CLOUD MIRROR

Young-min Choi

Are you the same person that you were 10 years ago, a year ago, or even a day ago? How can we, as ever-changing beings, reorient ourselves to every passing moment? At first, the mirror reflects where the viewer was 3 seconds in the past. 

As the participant’s breathing gets deeper and longer, their “reflection” will move closer to the present.

CLOUD MIRROR is a video installation that projects “reflections” of the viewer, both in the past and present, where time is controlled by the viewer’s breath. The participant’s “reflection” is generated using point cloud data to produce an artistic interpretation of their body as seen through a depth camera.
