Enter a world of chance and new imaginative possibilities through this interactive new media installation based on the critically-acclaimed theatrical performance The Object Lesson by Geoff Sobelle.
Created by Graham Sack, Geoff Sobelle, John Fitzgerald, and 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 creates a philosophical playground to explore the shifting relationship between images, memories, and things.
Pro-tip: look for a dinner tray or a beach umbrella while inside the installation.
