The name of the museum is a reference to the Egyptian, Inca, and Aztec obsidian mirrors of 16th, 17th, and 18th century. The museum is a reclamation of the western narrative of the black mirror as anything "dystopian and bizarre" and instead a journey of discovery into the expansive space beyond the material and into the digital; the spiritual; the ontology of the glitch outside the matrix and inside oneself.
