We installed two monitors that individually connects to a laptop and a webcam. VLC media player was used to stream the video and sound feeds from the cameras to the monitors. The mirrors facing the monitors resulted in an infinite loop of video feedback. Each webcam picked the sound from the monitor resulting in the reverb and echo.

Art Installation (Class group project) - Creative Design, Technical Setup
Tools: Monitors, Mirrors, Webcam, Media Player
The group experiment centers on utilizing monitors and mirrors as mediums that reflect the viewer’s actions. These monitors also function as distinct entities, engaging in conversations that are streamed from external sources – the viewers.
The viewer stands in the center of the installation and is immediately compelled to participate in the installation. The experiment transforms them from passive observers into active participants as they see and hear their actions and movement delay and reverb at different rate around them.
My input was mainly setting up the one of the monitors, webcams tweaking VLC settings to change the output of the video and make sound. also did the video documentation and some power lifting.
