Here is the second project that was done in Public Art Seminar Spring 2007. It is a Tri-Kaleidoscope. The idea of this was so three people could see the same image that normally only one person could experience. It allows for three people to see the unique image that it seen when you turn the kaleidoscope. This allows people to talk about what they see since many people see different things when they look at the image. The three people also have to work together to get the kaleidoscope to work, if one person moves the other two have to move as well. It becomes a team effort to control the kaleidoscope as well.
When building the kaleidoscope it was a different story. It was a lot harder to build it than expected. The mirrors in the kaleidoscope were very difficult to move so that you could see the image in the three eye holes. Looking for a material that could be cut easily and very reflective was also a hard part of the project. Mirror would have worked very well, but it is very hard to cut it without all the necessary tools that are needed to cut glass. With real mirrors and not reflective paper it would have made the project successful.
