Intro to Visual Practice / Fall 2010

During the link, i enjoyed using the mirror masked to view the reactions of people who saw me. The best reaction, I was able to achieve was when I looked into a class that was in session, and the class looked back at me perplexed, until the teacher pulled the blinds. This is the image that I used to connect to both exhibits created by our instructors.

What caused me to concentrate on this image were the perplexed expressions on the members of the class. The fact that they are all looking directly into my mirror amazed me.   It is the fact that though they were watching me and I was also watching them.  The use of the mirror to get a double image is what I took from Pedro’s piece. Also the way I tilted the mirror also gave my mirrored face a perplexed look. I incorporated Bill’s piece by how I achieved the image. I walked closer and closer to the classroom mirror. This allowed me to single out the students that were going to become distracted my presence.
