Now You See Me, a pop-up vanity room delivers a digitally mediated space for self-reflection. A DIY two-way ‘smart’ mirror on the centre wall acts as both a screen and a mirror, projecting real-time updates of current events, world news, weather reports and traffic information.
In speaking to science-fictive ideas of domestic space — a screen in every room, everyday objects made smart — Now You See Me promotes a semblance of helpfulness; of multitasking, time-saving, while embodying the merging of rituals, of internalised and actualised surveillance.
Opening Hours
- Tuesday – Friday, 10am – 5pm
- Saturday, 10am – 4pm
- Monday & Sunday closed
Address
- Level 4, The Kenneth Myers Centre
- 74 Shortland St
- Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland, 1010
