TanglEye Immersive Experience by Steve Zafeiriou

Description

This work is an interactive installation driven by data. It seeks to bend our understanding of reality and our identity through the lens of quantum mechanics and extraterrestrial philosophy. The cutting-edge technology project – a real-time 3D particle system – to create a mirror like no other. Instead of reflecting a flat, hesitant image, the mirror disassembles the viewer into a series of dynamic “subatomic” particles, creating a reflection that is both intimate and deeply disorienting.

The installation finds its roots in two main conceptual terrains.

Energy: Inspired by the ceaseless motions of subatomic particles that form the basis of all matter and energy in the universe, the installation captures the essence of our universe. It asks viewers to see themselves not as solid, unchanging entities but as ever-evolving fusions of energy and potential.

Consciousness: The mirror serves as a metaphor for the human experience, dissecting and reconstructing the viewer’s image to suggest that we are not singular, but multidimensional beings. Our lives are shaped by beliefs, experiences and perspectives, which can exist and affect us at the same time, like the phenomenon of quantum entanglement, where particles are interconnected across distances and states.
