Particle Mirror

What accounts for the fascination with recognizing oneself in a mirror? Is this image just a reflection of light particles, or is it a representation of one's own perception? “particle_mirror” is an interactive installation that consists of a black base with angled mirrors on the upper surfaces. Behind the mirrors are displays which show a realtime pointcloud from an Azure Kinect depth camera. The viewer's image is displayed as a particle simulation that changes depending on the position of the viewer and abstracts the displayed image.
This interactive installation was part of the BaroXmedia multimedia exhibition 2022, held in the garden pavilion at Stift Melk.
