From sculpture and performance to art and technology projects, video art, and installation art, Cristina Albu charts the rise of interpersonal modes of art spectatorship. She provides a historical account of mirroring processes in contemporary art and offers insight into the phenomenological and socio-political concerns that have inspired artists to stage processes of affective, perceptual, and behavioral mirroring between art viewers.
