THE MIRRORBOX
themirrorbox.info

#sculpture performance
The Mirrorbox is an ongoing investigation into shared identity. The device provides an intimate space for two people at a time. After putting their heads into a futuristic helmet, the participants stand face to face and observe their features blending together in real time. When used repeatedly or for long durations, this illusion of sharing a face can produce an embodied feeling of Empathy.

This installation prompted a scientific study in collaboration with graduate students at USC's Center for Brain and Creativity Institute.
