People indulge in selfies and also enjoy looking into a mirror to see themselves. This kind of narcissism has been amplified by social media and smartphones. This project is to examine the audience's reaction to a mirror image of themselves. Thus my intention is to design a Screen that could only let people see themselves from a far distance. And when they are attracted by their own image and try to approach the monitor screen. It will start to pixelate and prevent them to appreciate themselves. The body is automatically reacting to the mirror image on the screen but then also stopped by the pixels.
