Live - What is reflected in the mirror when no one is looking at it ?

This is an executable program work with a computer and monitor set up in the exhibition hall. As small parts are drawn one after another, the screen is updated without a break. This series is similar to a toy that starts playing music when the lid is opened. As long as the lid is open, the melody continues to flow without rest or repetition, and the full picture is never fully grasped. However, when the lid is closed and the melody is sealed, it turns into a small box that releases the scent of imagination. It may be the image of the real universe after my death.

This work of art expresses images you would see in your dreams. Screen elements are random so you would never see the same image twice.

Laplace's Demon in a Small Box

Somewhat contradictory to the above explanation, there is no randomness in the exact sense of the word in modern computers. When the program is completed and activated, all the scenes of eternity are determined, and there is no uncertainty whatsoever. In other words, this work, though small, is clearly Laplace's demon.
But it doesn't seem to make much difference to me whether the physical world is deterministic or not. This is because we interact with the world through the core filter of our imagination.
