These are machines for seeing. Sometimes in order to see something new all you need are new eyes... You can look at the same thing, and yet see something entirely different. Anyway, these "machines" are to make the viewer see the landscape in a different way.
Machine #1:
This is just a simple box, however in trying to see the model through this machine one must adjust the mirrors within to get a glimpse through the other side. As the viewer looks in the machine, however, we get in our own way. staring back at the viewer is the viewer themselves. This reflection is my attempt at trying to show how we have the need to see ourselves in our physical manafestations in an attempt at immortality. unfortunatly this will never work... nothing we build will last forever. we just want to see ourselves while we are alive.
This machine doesn't quite get across what I had hoped as the mirrors are too blurry and the distance between them is too great. One was supposed to be able to see through their own image to the clear image of the model. Instead all you can see is yourself.
Machine #2:
Based in my extra-curricular reading of Buddhism, I have made this machine for viewing nothing. there was not much instruction to this one, just make us see nothing. As said before, all we might need is new eyes so I will leave this discription at that.
