INFINITE
The infinite converges the strange and the familiar to create otherworldly compositions of dynamic, unified elements and patterns. The layered compositions resulting from these abstract investigations possess a kinetic quality, unfolding over time with infinite perspectives. The massive 1.5 pitch screen surrounded by a hall of mirrors stands at 14ft x 40 ft.

“The Mirror is the Medium”
A mirrored installation where visitors become part of the art itself. Iconic works—such as Michelangelo’s The Last Judgment—appear and transform across shifting digital surfaces. A Kinect camera captures each viewer in real time, fracturing their image into phases of the artwork, past, present and future, revealing hidden spaces of the works. Reflections multiply into infinity, turning the installation into a living tableau of evolving form and timeless art.
