I became interested the second I walked into the dark exhibit. It took almost a minute for my eyes to fully adjust. Once they did, I began walking along and peeping through the numerous circular viewports which were placed along the right wall. The path of the exhibit went clockwise, and featured approximately two dozen, intricately designed pieces of work that inspired thought and contemplation. Most parts of the exhibit were a combination of holographic reflections and miniature models. Some were complex in nature; others simple, or humorous (such as the prison guard scene; my personal favourite). In the corners of the room were lifelike, yet ghostly projections of females doing different things. In one corner sat a woman at a table, in another stood (from what I could tell) a waitress. All in all I found the exhibit very interesting. The miniature models and holograms made me wonder how they were designed, how long it must have taken to have the screens properly calibrated and set up, and just marvel at the amount of detail put into some of the scenes (for instance, the forest ones). I also found the way mirrors were used to make the scene appear much bigger than it really was to be very interesting as well. I recommend it for all to see, as it really puts art into a different perspective and makes you think. And, seeing as the exhibit's free and there until December 31, why not have a look? Depending on how long you spend examining each piece of artwork, you'll be there anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour. In my opinion, that's time well spent.
