Originality

After class on Monday I was feeling pretty down considering that I had just watched a piece that had a minimalists view of the idea I had posted on here. It was the guy with the hand mirror and the digital camera. I get the idea, however I had planed on making my presentation more professional. None the less the idea and point was made, and for the sake of not being considered a...., I have decided to change my plan. I really wish I had not known about that project. I'm sure I could still do it, but personally I wouldn't be comfortable. Not that this is about comfort, but originality is important to me.
New idea:
I still want to stick with mirrors, however now I was thinking about turning off the lights in the room and using the mirrors in the exact fashion that I posted previously, however now the main character of the piece will be a beam of light. I will use a clip on light attached somewhere nearby, aimed at the bottom mirror. The light will then be reflected to the satellite mirrors standing by. I think I will fashion a coated cover to go over the bulb itself. The end product will look like a black screen with a large white circle and then smaller circles appearing in different areas. I will keep the previously stated concept, I will just change the variables of light.
In the end, I think this will be a more focused approach to exploring the depth of mirrors.
