Mirror Activity

So basically what we did was hold a mirror in the position that we could see our partner's face. We imitated what our partner was doing, while walking further and further away from each other. Your focus had to be only on your partner, who was in essence imitating what you were doing. Because we were unaware of what face we were making, we relied on our partner to mimick our expression. This process became terribly circular until, in a perfect result we would be creating the same face. This was an example of performance art, in that the participators were the tools that portrayed a function necessary for it to become art. Because of the weather it was not terribly enjoyable, but it still accomplished what it was intended to. Besides for finding it rather ridiculous, I just was cold.
