Daedelus' Archimedes is a Robotic Mirror Sculpture

Archimedes is a robotic sculpture consisting of 24 square mirrors on a motorised frame, which are controlled in conjunction with the music by visualist Emmanuel Biard. It makes for a live show that plays with light to create a spectacle that emanates from its source on stage, seeping into the crowd and enveloping them. And that’s without using visual technology any more advanced than a mirror.

I had previously seen this sculpture in action at The Warehouse Project last year, and really influenced me to use lights and mirrors within my work. i like the way the mirrors create a sense a never ending visual experience. obviously i would not be able to create anything motorised or on this scale, but would like to use the lazer cutter to create pieces of mirror and then make a small installation from them to then project and reflect light on to.
