I saw a pretty cool piece of art at Coachella a couple of weeks ago that I wanted to share with you guys.   It was a rotating circle, half of which contained a mirror, and the other half of which was left empty.  The name of the installation was Metamorphosis and was created by Alex Andre.  I wasn’t able to snap a photo of the piece at a standstill, but to better illustrate what I’m describing I’ve created this very accurate rendering of what I recall it looking like

At a standstill this wasn’t anything special, but when the circle was spun it had the effect of showing whoever was staring into it rapid flashes of their own reflection followed by whatever was on the other side of the circle.  Again not so easy to explain, luckily I shot a quick video on my iPhone of Flowerhorn and I each standing on either side of the circle and messing around.  Check it out.

Its hard to fully appreciate the effect on video but you get the idea.  I’m thinking about making a miniature one to keep around the house…
