Nowadays, technology has become really advanced and evolved. For example, cameras can be found practically almost every where, on our phones, computers, tablets, game systems, cars, and in buildings and hallways. Usually the camera is used for either taking pictures, such as selfies and photography, and or security measures, such as in a bank and company. In Asia, we call these security cameras, CCTV’s, which can be found practically everywhere. Not there are those who use these CCTV’s not for security, but for art. Hwang Kim installed CCTV’s on a structure that he can walk and carry around with him, without the use of his hands, and called it CCTV chandelier - Virtual Doppelganger Simulator. I thought that this art piece was interesting because with the use of CCTV’s installed in different angles, you are able to record things in many different perspectives, similar to those mirrors in dressing rooms. It allows to see things differently in a third person perspective, which isn’t only interesting and invitational, but also allows the viewer to experience themselves in a different way.
