Zintaglio Arts / Project Contact: Matt Brand ✉

Welcome to the Mirrorverse, the pavilion that reflects alternate realities.

Mirrorverse is made of hundreds of interlocking mirrors that change your view of the void.

Mirrorverse's first installation will be at Black Rock City, 2020. See Virascope Alpha and Mutatis Mutandis, our BRC 2018 & 2019 test runs, for background on the optics.
