There is an endless variety of how to approach designing and coordinating a device/machine for seeing. A logical way of examining different ways of seeing was to look into machines that have already been produced for specific seeing purposes. For this I analyzed a periscope.
The idea of have an image bouncing of a mirror, being flipped, then reflected again of another mirror to 'right' the image you see, intrigued me.
From this a modified version was created.
Pulling an element of abstractness was where the project took a beneficial turn. From a standard periscope, to one that had a set of mirrors with varied heights. By first experimenting with bent mirrors, they skewed the image too much, thus causing the original object to go beyond a point of recognition...a variation of this was the mondrianesque mirror arrangement, with slopes given to each specific piece.
The result was an image that gave an effect of a layering of spaces, just as the Cubist painting had portrayed. It was this layering, and the relationships formed between different moments of incline and decline, and how the image was affected by that, that produced something new and unique. An abstraction of the landscape.
