[vimeo http://vimeo.com/1842245] "Audience" on display at the Royal Opera House is a unique collection of 64 individually swiveling mirrors.
When members of the audience occupy the space, the mirrors inquisitively follow someone that they find interesting. Having chosen their subject, they all synchronise and turn their heads towards them. Suddenly that person can see their reflection in all of the mirrors. They will watch this person until they become disinterested, then either seek out another subject or return to their private chatter. The collective behaviour of the objects is beyond the control of the viewer, as it is left entirely to their discretion to let go of their subject.
They possess a certain paradoxical robo-organicism which I find remarkable.
