Mirrorpane – “Medium” School of Media + Communications

Project Description:

Area C Projects – A public art practice was commissioned to create a text-based digital artwork that uses language sourced directly from WBGU-TV’s live media broadcasts and University’s extensive BG NEWS student newspaper archives. Capturing thousands of phrases beginning we and they, the artwork arranges them in alternating order, flashing one after another within the depths of a mirrored column. The result is an absurd oppositional dynamic: the viewer is subject to an endless litany of we vs. they messaging which seems to demand that she choose a side, even as the criteria for choosing shifts with each new phrase. Lucid Glass Studio was consulted to provide the specialty glass required to bring the artist’s “Medium” vision to reality.
