Identity Reorganization Portal by Michi Catanese, on FlickrMichael says: “I designed this installation to draw attention to the many ways we limit our self-identities and therefor our life potential. Identity Reorganization Portal is designed to be a gauntlet thrown down before the apparent solidity of the assumed "I". Our mirrored transport system will visually suggest new identity options for viewers/participants/Black Rock Citizens as they find their reflections multiplied, fractalized and rearranged to include others in the near vicinity. Simultaneously our portal will supply a continuous looping sound collage suggesting new and different self-perceptions.
Acolytes will take a moment to view their reflections while listening to and considering the identity suggestions shared in our sound collage. Then when they press the lighted button within the portal the sound collage will fade and an audio oracle emerges with exactly the piece of information needed to step into the new moment.”
