Computing an Identity With Delayed Experiences

Created by Tetsuro Nagata, “Computing an Identity” is an interactive installation where users interact with reflected visuals of themselves, exploring perception by using projected images, time, lights, and shadows. On one screen, you can see yourself in a “delayed mirror,” and as you step closer to it, the time delay increases, allowing you to see what you were like a few seconds ago.

In a similar way, a second projection allows the viewer to be conscious of their shadow by delaying the projection, and mixing it with those from previous visitors. The video below shows visitors and their “out of body” experiences.
