PROJECT:
Mirror 2002

DESCRIPTION:
Mirror, 2002 uses artifacts from the year 2002 to recreate the magical mirror in Snow White. As is the way in 2002, magic is implemented through "high technology". Facial recognition software, holographic glass, a video projector, video camera, and personal computer with a database of "beautiful" people are the incantations that power the magic in this installation.


FEATURES:
Facial Recognition software, as deployed in airports.
Projections onto half-silvered mirror line up viewers eyes with projection.
Mirror picks a "closest match" from the People Magazine database of most beautiful people.
