Ant Creating Playful Interactions

AntiVanitY

– installation

The installation was developed during my MA Design for Interactive Media at MDX University in 2010/2011 and it fakes a mirror using a computer screen and a camera. AntiVanitY plays with perceptions while stimulating our senses. As people approach a screen-based 'mirror' their reflection becomes more blurred and when they move away from it, the images become detailed. I have always been fascinated by the way we perceive the world around us and I was interested to play with the opposite of how we commonly experience our visual perceptions.
