Interactive Installation

Mirror No. 12 (2013) processes live imagery captured from a small camera. Taking upon itself the same image building restrictions as Daniel Rozin’s Angles Mirror (2013), Mirror No. 12 uses the rotational transformation of line as the sole means of representation. Resulting in a painterly texture, the artist-authored software manipulates a finite set of straight lines that spin from one position to the next, in an attempt to replicate a visual scene’s angular contours and features.

Bio

For nearly three decades, Daniel Rozin has explored the structure and materiality of images, from mosaics to digital pixels. His work employs diverse materials—from trash to hand fans—to probe what constitutes an image and what can be transformed into one. Rozin’s interactive installations and sculptures engage viewers in real time, creating representations of their likeness within the artwork. His kinetic ‘mirrors’ use unexpected reflective materials that respond to a person’s presence through cameras and custom software, allowing reflection and surface transformation to explore human behavior, representation, and perception. Rozin’s past exhibitions include the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Barbican Centre in London. Awards include the Prix Ars Electronica, I.D. Design Review, Chrysler Design Award, and the Rothschild Prize. Rozin is an Associate Arts Professor at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts.
