video, mirror, window, 4-d
This book looks really interesting, it's on reserve at the Arch. School, we should give it a look.This article has some great ideas and frameworks for our project. I especially like the video as mirror and window idea. I think we can use that in the construction of the space and in creating a sense of where one is looking to, or from. If you don't have time to read the entire article here is an exerpt:

Video as Architectural Mirror and Window
Video in architecture functions semiotically as window and mirror simultaneously but subverts the effects and functions of both. Windows in architecture mediate separated spatial units and frame a conventional perspective of one unit’s relation to the other; mirrors in architecture define self-reflectively spatial enclosure and ego enclosure.

I love this idea - what about using it in the maze/peep show/gallery to play with perspective and (again) private/public space: Imagine a video projection of live feed from one side of the wall to the other side, creating the peep show "window" where there actually isn't one. Maybe we could play with fading between live feed and pre-recorded feed of the same performer, challenging the observer's privelaged viewing power.
