Unreflective Mirror
Masaki Fujihata (JP)
Prix Ars Electronica 2007 “Hybrid Art. Honorary Mention.”
Unreflective Mirror is an extended version of a traditional mirror – even the appearance is quite similar to an ordinary mirror. From the technical side it is realized with virtual reality using 3D position tracking and passive stereo projection. However, it is a totally fake mirror. In it, a viewer wearing polarized filter glasses sees the glasses as a reflection, but cannot see themselves. Also, the reflected image of the back walls follows the eye coordination of the viewer. Viewers can experience a strange feeling of the loss of their existence or the feeling of new type of an artificial shadow self.
