objects in mirror AR closer than they appear
Created by Graham Sack, Geoff Sobelle, John Fitzgerald, Matthew Niederhauser
objects in mirror AR closer than they appear fuses augmented reality technology with an immersive theater installation, inviting audiences to reflect on the relationship between new media and archaic objects; 21st-century technology and 19th-century magic; and memory and optical illusion. The piece is based on the critically acclaimed theatrical performance The Object Lesson by Geoff Sobelle and creates a philosophical playground to explore the shifting relationship between images, memories, and things.
