Mirror, Mirror

Daniel Rozin, Director Of Research and adjunct professor at ITP, Tisch School Of The Arts, NYU, and owner of SmoothWare Design, has built a Mirror-like display as an art project out of shiny balls. This seems to be a refinement of a 1999 Wooden Mirror project that is also pretty cool."

  1. Sense of being in a room with it. by mattkime · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This just isn't something that is communicated well over the web.

    Over time, it tends to serve a function more like having a small waterfall in the room - it adds a sense of life.

    At first when people see it, they do the usual thing of walking up to it and moving back and forth in front of it. (Dance! Dance!) The entertainment value in this is quite small and wears off quickly.

    Yet when people stop looking at it and live with it there is still the background noise and movement which serves to soften the environment and make it feel more alive. I find this to be the most satisfying part of the piece.
