Mirrecophone
The mirrechophone is an interactive piece of furniture designed for augmented relationships between two persons. It is a forum for the exchange of faces and words. Using complex light settings and a two-way mirror, the visual function of the installation morphs the faces of two visitors, as they look at each other, into a single face, with constantly changing expressions.
The audio part takes words and sentences from each visitor, cuts them into monosyllabic words and sounds and then replays this mix back as a piece of sound poetry. What is said is recomposed into new meanings creating a single conversation through the blending together of what each visitor is saying: augmented relationships through morphing faces and speech.
