Doppelganger • Interactive video facade projection • Hyde Park Art Center • Chicago • 2006

     Doppelganger is a video installation based on the projections of reversed shadows, reversing dark into light and populating the digital facade at the Hyde Park Art Center with bodies of light. 
    

     Caught in thought, various people were filmed and recorded individually as they contemplated or  murmured what (pre)occupies their minds. As individuals they were then pieced together to form a slideshow-like collage of interweaving bodies, producing a choreography of light and motion all the while maintaining their individual presences.
    

     Viewed from both the interior and exterior of the facade, Doppelganger's outside silent bodies of light mingled above the sidewalk with all passing pedestrians, while on the catwalk inside, motion sensors enabled an interior viewer to trigger and experience an individual video clip of a person in the sound and motion of thought.
