Eren Erkan’s “Beyond The Mirror” is the result of a psychological test that reveals a physical and abstract meaning, along with small hints and ways of perceiving about the person that is experiencing it at the time and at the end of the test, the individual that is experiencing it will be able to understand the thought process of the Artificial Intelligence. Erkan’s installation is an experimentative and interactive project that aims to give each member of the audience a unique experience and perception about themselves that they can’t possibly see in front of an ordinary mirror. Being influenced by a psychological test called “The Cube Test” by Jessica Wilson, the artist personalizes the Artificial Intelligence figure behind the barrier of mirrors, using it as the subject.
