New Media Artist Blog # 3: Wooden Mirror



Wooden Mirror Video

Daniel Rozin is a new media artist whose work focuses on interaction. His digital based installations and sculptures revolve around the idea of changing and responding to the environment in which they are placed. In several of his works the idea of a mirror image is explored in which the viewer becomes the subject. In the wooden mirror for example 830 pieces of wood, 830 servo motors, control electronics, a video camera, and a computer all work together to create an image of the curious onlooker. This use of innovative technology allows Rozin to mimic the qualities of a mirror onto a piece of wood. Rozin experiments with this same idea using a variety of other materials even garbage. Daniel Rozin's installations break the barrier of digital and physical as well as technology and art. Rozin is successful in creating a new way of interacting with art.
