WORKING ON THE MIRROR is the approach of an open artists’ collective to transpose a set of individual recording methods of cognitive processes into artistic realms. 

Ensuing from the practices of the ‘logbook’ which – as a classical application – serves as the basis for defining and locating occurrencies, the participating artists were investigating their individual scopes of action over a period of two months. In the framework of a Public Generative Lab taking place twice a week the artists’ traces of monitoring were juxtaposed, thus, in a collaborative process rendering co-relating factors of contemporary artistic production visible.
