aleph.jpg

“aleph is an experimental public display, that is using the spaces, people and objects it faces as a palette to display messages from hidden viewpoints. when looking at a small mirror, it reflects a fraction of space around us, when looking at a mirror facade it reflects most things around us.. but if we build a matrix of small mirrors, which can adjust their tilt according to the site they are facing, we can create a display that uses the ever change flux of the place to show images from certain points in space.”

“the name comes from a fictional point of singularity by Jorge luis borges: aleph is a point in space that contains all other points. anyone who gazes into it can see everything in the universe from every angle simultaneously, without distortion, overlapping, or confusion” it is a public display commissioned for the UK belsay hall contemporary arts program and is on display till september.
