Spy Vase

Mirrored Glass
1′ x 1′ x 5′
November 2008

This vase may look innocent enough but as the viewer is admiring its beauty they are being watched. The hidden camera inside this vase transmits a live wireless signal to the computer in the next room. This unseen aspect gives the piece an edge that the viewer will understand only when they move on to the next room. This piece gives the artist the ability to spy on the viewer and see what they really think about the art. It reverses the role of viewer and viewed and creates and interesting dynamic in an art.
