SERIES: Void Sigil
About This Series
A black mirror is a device that practitioners of witchcraft use for scrying — an act of divination to see the past, present, and future. The process involves intently gazing into a reflected surface, literally a black mirror, to allow patterns of symbolic resonance to appear.
Black Mirror explores our relationship with technology, the mind, and spirituality by allowing the them to coalesce on a mirrored surface with live digital video, which provide outlets for reflecting on the idea of “self”. As viewer walks into the mirrored area, they make superficial observations from the moment to see themselves as they presently are. As the mind wanderers, the viewer allows moments from past to come to percolate and see themselves as they were. Meanwhile, the computer creates an abstracted image from the live video, opening the possibilities of what could be.
