“Mirror mirror on the wall” … you know the rest!

I had the pleasure of visiting the new SoftLab “Mirror Mirror” installation at Old Town Alexandria’s Waterfront Park And am happy to share some of the awesome moments captured from this amazing collaboration between @softlab.nyc and @alexartsoffice.

“Mirror Mirror” created by SOFTlab (a New York-based design studio led by artist and architect Michael Szivos) is a public art installation currently illuminating the new expansion of Waterfront Park from March through November 2019. The project’s mission is to “encourage visitors to experience art and explore and enjoy the new public plaza and civic space” through Alexandria’s Public Art Program. (httpsy://www.alexandriava.gov).

 

 

 

 

“The artwork takes the form of an opened circle, 25-feet in diameter and approximately 8 feet high, that visitors can walk inside and around.”

It was so much fun to see adults, children, babies and even pets interacting with the colorful spectrum of mirrors. It was the perfect justification for having this type of art installation at a waterfront park. Random and genuine connections to/with art.

 

 

 

 

“Playing with the ideas of reflection and refraction of light, Mirror Mirror’s interior and exterior are clad with a mirrored surface that reflects the surrounding environment in unexpected ways. The artwork is programmed to respond to sound with light, allowing visitors to interact with the artwork and affect its appearance using their voices and bodies. When illuminated, the interior panels remain mirrored, creating an infinite, colorful reflection that SzivosHey compares to “a forest of light.” For more information on the “Mirror Mirror” public art, visit https://www.alexandriava.gov or to visit in person, stop by Alexandria’s Waterfront Park at 1A Prince St, Alexandria, VA 22314.

Thanks for stopping by!
