wow, thats pretty cool. I'm in an advanced physics class and me and one of my friends started to think what a room with walls as mirrors would be like. Although you mirrors aren't perfect, hard to do without a lot of money, nice job, very interesting.

Thanks for the comment, ironically I actually studied physics before becoming an artist. And yes you're right, unfortunately I was using mirror backed acrylic plastic rather than glass and the adhesive used did cause some distortions. If you were interested in exploring the use of mirrors in this way further I would recommend looking at the works of Lucas Samaras and Anish Kapoor. In the late 60s Samaras produced a variety of 'rooms' created entirely from mirrors which could interest you.

i always dreamed what a room of mirrors would be like and now i know but it would be better with a floor aswell

You need to put glow in the dark stars in there, with a black light... and explore the universe while super high ^_^

[OfolenWS]

Could you possibly put mirrors on the roof and floor as well?

This is fucking amazing, Its like Creating a room of infinite void purely beautiful for people to sit and gaze into the unknown of pure mystery :3

[spinafire]

I would love to sit in there. Great allusion of infinite space.

Wow - this is great! The idea of a mirror room really appeals to me, and though you have said that unfortunately you couldn't use real mirrors (god, that would have been amazing!), the effect is still very exciting! I like to create photographs from smaller mirror rooms that I've put together (basically four large identical mirrors). So much fun!
