«Three Linked Cubes - Interior Design for Space Showing Videos»
«‹Three Linked Cubes›, a series of rectangular bays with one side open and with side panels of alternating two-way mirror or transparent glass has a dual identity. Placed outside it is an opened pavilion illuminated by the sun; placed indoors, it is transformed into ‹Interior design for space showing videotapes.› Here various video monitors and speakers are placed to allow three separate programs for audiences subdivided into 6 groups. The effects of the changing illumination from the video images reflected on the glass panels effects the mirror ‹ghosts› of audience members seen in other enclosed bays of the divider. The work is both functional exhibition design and an optical art work.»
