Interactive artist, Danny Rozin works in very particular artistic surroundings, making mirrors from unreflective surfaces. He accomplishes this by using a tiny camera that gathers light and shape data, before sending it to a computer that processes it and uses hundreds of tiny electric motors to shift tiny blocks of material into the image in front of the device. In Wood Mirror, Rozin uses blocks of wood to compose this ghostly image, imprinted upon the wooden pixels like a haunted trace and just like a real mirror, subtle gradations of shade are achieved by both the natural grain of the wood and the angle at which they are displayed, casting shadow. Since building the wooden mirror Rozin has experimented with a number of other materials.
The main concept of this project and others like it was the idea of everything around us acts as a mirror, or perhaps more precisely making everything around us into a mirror onto the world. By using a naturally unreflective surface to create reflections, Rozin highlights human beings interest in technical accomplishment, but the fact that every object can reflect in some sense the image of those who have crafted, used, or sold it.
“The nature of reflective surfaces and reflections is what is at stake here - but what’s more, it’s a stunningly impressive piece of craftsmanship in its own right and if anything can be said to reflect the image of those that created it, then this surely reflects well on Rozin(http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/featured/the-amazing-wooden-mirror/1425.)”
In Wood Mirror, Rozin proves visual feedback by the creation of the viewer’s reflection though the visual input of the camera, much similar to the idea of our current text animation project. The projects reflect the artists who created them as well as the viewer’s that participate in the interactive animation through input text and visual feedback by moving objects around the page.
