Douglas Adams 'What Have I Done', Darkness & Interactive Website

'To enter the show is to walk into a world of shadows, projections and reflections. It sure is dark, in the magical gloom. You keep bumping into things, not least yourself, dimly reflected in the mirrored walls the artist has inserted in the downstairs galleries. Your reflection collides with all the moving images dotted about the floor on monitors, and on big screens that loom and slant in the mirrors, things you haven't looked at yet sliding in at unexpected angles. Along one long mirrored wall, the words "I've Changed. You've Changed" repeat. Blink and you're gone' Adrian Searle: Critic on Douglas Adams 'What Have I Done?', The Guardian, 5/11/2002 (http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2002/nov/05/art.artsfeatures)
