Mirror

The Seattle Art Museum will change permanently this weekend when Doug Aitken’s newest art installation — a giant LED and glass display called Mirror — is revealed. Mirror displays continuously changing images to match the surroundings of the museum. Commissioned by the late philanthropist Bagley Wright in 2011, Mirror acts as a living museum, using an enormous collection of moving images captured by Aitken to reflect local life.
