American artist Phillip K Smith III has added mirrors to the walls of a desert shack in California to create the illusion that you can see right through the building. Entitled Lucid Stead, the installation was created by Phillip K Smith III on a 70-year-old wooden residence within the California High Desert. Mirrored panels alternate with weather-beaten timber siding panels to create horizontal stripes around the outer walls, allowing narrow sections of the building to seemingly disappear into the vast desert landscape. “Lucid Stead is about tapping into the quiet and the pace of change of the desert,” said Smith. “When you slow down and align yourself with the desert, the project begins to unfold before you. It reveals that it is about light and shadow, reflected light, projected light, and change.” The door and windows of the building are also infilled with mirrors, but after dark they transform into brightly coloured rectangles that subtly change hue, thanks to a system of LED lighting and an Arduino computer system. “The colour of the door and window openings are set at a pace of change where one might question whether they are actually changing colours,” said Smith. “One might see blue, red, and yellow… and continue to see those colours. But looking down and walking ten feet to a new location reveals that the windows are now orange, purple and green,” he added. White light is projected through the walls of the cabin at night, revealing the diagonal cross bracing that forms the building’s interior framework.
