WDCB's Gary Zidek talks to Chicago-based artist Adrian Stein about his new installation, Quantum Mirror.

“I’ve seen a lot of repression in the way that people express through social media. A part of this installation is about multiple personalities, it’s about avatars and the characters we create. It’s about virtual bodies that we create to mirror our bodies, we like to think we control them, but they end up controlling us.” - artist Adrian Stein talking about how his new installation QUANTUM MIRROR explores peoples’ use of social media.
