Daniel Rozin- Wooden mirrors

"This piece explores the line between digital and physical"
The wooden mirrors that Daniel Rozin created seem impossible at first; a viewer stands in front of the piece and their image becomes reflected on a generally non-reflective surface. The pieces, not all made out of wood, use hundreds of tiny rotating squares that spin according to a computer program receiving information from a tiny camera. The tiny squares then function as pixels to create the image. I am not sure exactly how the squares change color; it could be with carefully engineered shadows, or perhaps each one has several sides with different shades. Either way, this is unlike anything I have ever seen before.
