This is a photo of myself in the big box, which is a part of the installation INNER REALITIES. There is a projector on the ceiling of the box. It projects some colorful video graphics onto the floor of the box. The colorful light from the projection reflects on the audience and the four walls of the box creating a wonderful experience like in the house of mirrors in an amusement park.

Talking about my own reflections, I also like the installation WHERE AM I AM ? (2011, Suwasan Chenvitit, A+++++++++++++++), which is shown in the exhibition CMD DEGREE SHOW in March 2011. If I remember it correctly, this installation places some mirrors and lights in a dark corner. When I walked near it, my presence created multiple dark reflections in the mirrors. It looks really amazing. It's like I nearly stepped into the realm of the dark shadows of Philippe Grandrieux or David Lynch or something like that, though that's not the intention of the installation artist.

As for LOAD: OVERLOAD, apart from the video installations listed above, I also like the installation EM-PA-TEA (Thiencharas Wongpisetkul, A++++++++++).

I saw four other video installations in LOAD: OVERLOAD yesterday.

26. BREAKING NORM (Thanisara Suthanyaphruet, A+)

27.OVERLOAD (Aram Niakan, A+/A)

28.ALTERNATIVE (Kasidet Boonma, A+/A)

29.THE IMPACT OF HUMAN & ENVIRONMENT ON EACH OTHER (Nattapong Kiatrungrit, A-)

I think OVERLOAD is the first artwork I saw which deals with the Libya civil war, and THE IMPACT OF HUMAN & ENVIRONMENT ON EACH OTHER is the first artwork I saw which deals with the tsunami in Japan in March.
