Doug Aitken MIRROR 2013
MIRROR is an urban earthwork. A downtown museum that changes in real time, responding to the activity around it. A living kaleidoscope, it is a dynamic representation of the constantly changing environments that make up Seattle and the Pacific Northwest.
Hundreds of hours of footage, surfaces, locations and landscapes, reduced to their essence, create a living museum exterior. The continual mapping of the landscape feeds into the building. Weather information, pedestrian traffic, atmospheric conditions, and more trigger and direct the moving images in unexpected ways.
Like choreography with no music, the images are left to define the composition and patterns today, tomorrow and in to the future.
Opens March 24th! Really proud of this one!
“Land art from the 1960s and 1970s exists in remote locations. I was interested in creating something very urban.”
— Doug Aitken on MIRROR which opens March 24 at SAM.
