Abstract
The Unexpected Reflection Collection was an art installation composed of an accumulation of Internet derived images. The images were appropriated from photographs of mirror reflections found on the website, Craigslist.com and contained overlooked and accidental subject matter. The collection of images was integrated into a rotating video sequence and rear-projected through multiple sheets of mirror-like glass. The format of the installation was designed to seduce the viewer through revolving candid images and to ultimately reveal to the viewer his or her own reflection. This thesis writing addresses the vulnerability of privacy and the unintended public access that is granted with the rapid evolution of Internet technology. Candid photographs and reflections are used in this project to illustrate ideas of exposure and intimacy. This writing explains in detail, the process of determining all aspects of the thesis installation and their relationships to the concepts.
