The Barbarian Group is the group of designers responsible for Burger King’s Subservient Chicken marketing campaign. Now they have created The McLeod Mirror Series.

McLeod Mirror Series 1: See Yourself in Others are not actually made of mirrored glass, but an LCD screen housed in a wooden case with a web cam attached to the top. The camera records the viewer and creates a collage of the person’s image along with images of everyone else who has stood before the mirror. The image allows the viewer to “see themselves reflected in others” in a new way. The mirrors bring a timeless bathroom product into the digital age, creating a twist on the staple that is more interesting and dynamic than the original, while perhaps pointlessly complex. The images are not recorded or archived, so the digital artwork created on the spot will never be seen again.

Only 100 mirrors have been produced. You can get one for $6,000.00. Link to video (scroll to the right). Link to description. -via Shiny Shiny

    The few times I tried acid I would experience something like this quite intensely while peaking. But instead of me being made out of others portraits. I would see regressive fractal images of myself composing the face of the other person I was interacting with. But the image of this mirror reflects remarkably my recollection of these experiences

    I too saw this live, although it was a little bit before that. Check-out McLeod Residence, they're doing a whole thing on interactivity, with butterflies made of paper and lightboxes covered in patterns of cloth.
