The Real Thing

Discover a kaleidoscope of epic proportions! Be mesmerized by the psychedelic imagery of The real thing a human-scaled, interactive kaleidoscope by new media artist Jordana Maisie.

The kaleidoscope captures movements on video and gives you back the real thing – the real you, captured by video and fragmented by digital magic into an infinite number of glorious mandalas of colour and pattern. Watch the pattern change as you move slowly and quickly in front of the camera: playful and captivating for the young and young at heart.

The real thing is displayed in conjunction with the children’s exhibition Light Play!
