Descriptions & Essays
MIRRORS Commissioned by Artwise Curators for REGUS HQ, Berkeley Square, London / 2009 ‘Mirrors’ in London’s Bruton Street is rAndom’s first permanent installation in the UK and has been completed in early April 2009. Evolving from the ‘Audience’ installation it aims to re-interpret the meaning of the word ‘pixel’, in that it’s layout is not arranged in the usual tight grid to display information in an orderly, flat array. Here, the idea was to give each of the individual ‘pixels’ the distinct freedom and capacity to move around in a threedimensional space, and at their own discretion. Together the group of 200 animated, head size mirrors will be creating a subtle, continous flow of movement in the atrium of the building, spanning two floors over 6 meters.
