Wooden Mirrors

This is an interactive art project by Daniel Rozin.  It involved 835 wooden tiles that move to create a mirror image.  Each piece of wood is motorized by a computer and moves up and down to change how the light hits it.  The little camera in the middle takes 15 pictures per second and converts the image to gray scale. Then, the pixel colours correspond to a specific angle to create the image with light.

I think this art piece is awesome! At first, the concept seemed really confusing, but after watching many of Rozin’s videos, this projects seems like something I would challenge myself to complete! I also think it would be interesting in a gallery setting because it’s surprising to the viewer, when they see themselves IN the art.  Judging by my previous blog posts, I have discovered the I really LOVE interactive art! I believe it can challenge the viewer’s skills or confuse them, and it always creates different results.

Daniel Rozin has many other projects that follow these concept of angles, colours and mirror images.
