Perception and its memory are fundamental aspects in the research field of human-computer interaction: Artificial Intelligence aims to replicate the way the human mind works. Reactive to the environment that surrounds it, AI detects stimuli, decodes emotions, and reads the traits of people within its range of action.

In a immersive, contemplative environment, the visitors at first glance experience the installation as a normal mirror. But the viewers' image soon leaves room to ephemeral, rainbow-coloured clouds of points, generated by the artificial intelligence. The AI's interpretation of the viewer obscures the mirror and becomes the viewer's new reflection.

Information such as: sex, physical characteristics, emotional states and demographic references are registered and translated into a flow of information processed in real time by the AI.

And transmitted to custom-designed plotters.

The whole experience is designed as a data stream that flows between the viewers and their analogue reflection, a brief digital benevolent alter ego that returns to the viewer as a river of printed data stream.

感知與記憶是在人機互動的研究領域中的基礎方向；人工智能 (AI) 旨在複製人類思維的學習與工作，AI回應著四周環境、感知刺激、解讀情緒以至在其行動範圍內閱讀人們的特徵。

在這個身臨其境的沉浸環境中，觀者第一眼看到的以為只是一塊普通鏡子，但當觀者的形象被AI迅速生成短暫的、彩色的點點在鏡子上，AI對觀者的解讀掩蓋了鏡子，漸漸變成觀者的新鏡象。

諸如性別、身體特徵、情緒狀態和人口統計學參考等資訊會被擷取並實時由AI轉化，這些資訊會傳送到定制的繪圖機上被打印出來。

整個體驗被設計成一個數據流，在觀者與其鏡象之間流動，及後的打印品作為回饋觀者的一個智暫的儀式。
