Disco Wall is a kinetic mirror installation composed of an 8×8 grid of individually motorized reflective tiles. Each mirror subtly tilts and shifts in real time, driven by custom software and choreography, transforming ambient and directed light into dynamic patterns that ripple across the surface.
Controlled via TouchDesigner, the work functions as both a sculptural object and a responsive display—reflecting viewers, architecture, and light back into the space in continuously changing configurations. The mirrors’ movement produces shifting patterns and moments of visual alignment that change as people move around the piece.
Built from a walnut-framed MDF base and mounted on an adjustable stand, Disco Wall is designed to physically and visually respond to its environment. By reflecting viewers, light sources, and surrounding architecture, the piece creates an ever-changing surface that shifts as people move through the space, emphasizing motion, material, and interaction over fixed imagery.
