the wooden mirror' by daniel rozin
---




interactive artist daniel rozin works in a very particular artistic milieu, making mirrors from unreflective surfaces.
one of his creations, 'the wooden mirror' is a testament to his skill in this area. the mirror uses 830 square pieces
of wood which are hooked up to an equal number of small motors which move the wooden blocks according to a
built in camera. the camera picks up movement in light and somehow transfers the signal to the wood. the result
is an eerie representation of reality depicted in tiny wooden pixels. since building 'the wooden mirror' rozin has
experimented with a number of other materials.
