It's really hard to explain, because you have to experience them, but I'll try....
They are big wooden boxes that require two or more people to participate in order to "activate" the experience. He uses mirrors to alter your perception and to create art that only exists in your brain. They can be experienced on a number of levels -- just plain fun and social, on a neuroscience level, on a philosophical level. They are about how we perceive ourselves and how we perceive others. There are 9 boxes at the MAG, and each one is different; also, your experience is different within each box, depending on which opening you look into.
