Posted by Fabio 14 January 2010

The result is a crafted appearance of layers and textures that belie the hard-edged nature of the raw data.

Star designer Jason Bruges takes part in the recently opened exhibition at the V&A entitled DECODE with his contribution Mirror, Mirror. White dot matrix digital panels are arranged in the pond, awakening as visitors come into view. Cameras mounted within the LED dot matrices capture activity in the garden and simultaneously reflect this back to the viewer; the animated images are then mirrored once again in the surface of the water, creating multiple reflections. www.jasonbruges.com
