Tribeca Film Festival Storyscapes, April 2018
New York Theatre Workshop Next Door, May 2018

objects in mirror AR closer than they appear fuses augmented reality technology with an immersive theater installation, inviting audiences to reflect on the relationship between new media and archaic objects; 21st-century technology and 19th-century magic; and memory and optical illusion. The piece creates a philosophical playground to explore the shifting relationship between images, memories, and things. 

The press called it “an impressive technical and social experiment…a seductive meditation”, “next-level”, “full-on fun”, “visually engaging”, “unique and Also Awesome”, “a true exploration”.
