I went to an Echo and the Bunnymen gig last night and they had a really nice backdrop on the stage with motion graphics/short films playing over their songs. One of these films was an image of a kaleidoscope which made me think about how i could cut up my object into smaller shapes which could then be reflected in a uniform pattern and rotated like a kaleidoscope.
Today I have also been looking at the work of Olafur Eliasson, a Danish-Icelandic artist whose work often looks at themes of geometry and space. Here are some images of his beautiful work in the exhibition 'Take your time' which was shown at MOMA 2007-8.

Eliasson plays with reality, perception and representation and i think that his work allows the viewer to engage with the objects he is portraying on a higher level. His work often takes a sculptural form which presents optical illusions to the viewer. I would like to use Eliasson's work as a reference for my Reform brief and play with the shapes from our hybrid to form geometric patterns and movements.
