Mirror/Mirror

Live transmission performance performed at the "Myself" exhibition, Shepperd Fine Arts Gallery, University of Reno, February 18, 2011

“Mirror/Mirror” is a performance developed and performed for live transmission over the Internet. The project uses pre-recorded video and drawing performed in real-time. In the projected video I am seen drawing a self-portrait. However, the drawing is reversed and is disappearing. While the video is projected, I enter into the space redraw the portrait following my hand and the line in the projection. As the virtual line disappears in the video, I recreate it in real-time. In the end, the video fades to white and a new drawing created during the performance becomes visible.
