Slashdot Mirror
Mirror, Mirror
PSaltyDS writes "A friend forwarded this to me... don't know where he got it from. 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."

... shiny balls ...
I think there should be a separate Slashdot topic for this, so that we can all share our stories.
this is a pretty cool art project, good to see examples of technology creating art, or is that art creating technology
the things we can do with thousands of simple objects.
You said shiny balls.

Posting a page on ./ that contains a link to a 17 MB .mov file... How long will it take for their server to die?
Nothing like trying to pop a zit in a mirror that looks like it's 2 DPI. On the flip side, when it hits the mirror, you REALLY know it.

same idea, but with much faster video response times
You can't judge a book by the way it wears its hair.
Thanks, thanks a hell of a lot, you bastards.
My gf walks into the room and I'm sitting here with a moz download dialog: "Saving 79% of shinyballs.mov"
I hope this guy's web server has a mirror or two
but it's funny how mechanical the description is- the details are more industrial then I had expected. the acutal sound of the machine gave me the first impression of nuematics in action- I"ve worked in the paste with several different nuematic systems and I honestly thought the activity of the balls represented a nuematic system also.
so, when will they create an 'over the bed' version of this?

Goatse Receiver, ass contortionist, dead at 55
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - ass strectching exhibitionist Goatse Receiver was found dead in CmdrTaco's bed this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to making the intarweb a great place for millions of users. Truly an American icon.

Im thinking it might be nice to build a much higher res version of the wooden mirror with each woodchip being say 5mm^ so it really looks like a monochrome mirror. Instead of attaching 8 motors to each MCU, you can use a 32-bit MCU and address ALL the motors using the big addressing range and a fast multiplexer. That will allow minimization of the whole structure.
For the motors, the 'electronic muscle' available from jameco.com can be used for cheapicity and simplicity, again to increase the resolution rather than expensive motors.
Four of them can be lined against an elevator wall to seriously impress or scare patrons. Better still make one of them a mirror and display Evil Dead on the other three starting at 2 am. Make sure a hidden camera records the reactions.
Now I wanna make one.

This display is cool, but practical applications are few and far between, right now. Probably we'll need a display like this. I can see it does have the advantage of keeping the last image it had if it were to lose power, but it prolly has lousy refresh and response times. It's e-ink!
Having an art-technology degree myself, I can say that this is some seriously cool art. I would like to see a show where there were a number of different materialed mirror machines.. cool! :)

His system has one motor per "pixel". To produce the grey scale, he has to treat each pixel as an axis of position control. the two ways this is usually done is with servo's can do this with position feedback on the load (ala model-airplane servos), or with steppers which can be more finicky, but requre no feedback sensor. In either case, it wasn't trivial to build all the "pixels" and then get them under control. I'll bet it wasn't cheap either.

It is now official - Netcraft has confirmed: *BSD is dying
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD community when recently IDC confirmed that *BSD accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last [samag.com] in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin [amazingkreskin.com] to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93426f its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time FreeBSD developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: FreeBSD is dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another tro

It is now official - Netcraft has confirmed: *BSD is dying
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD community when recently IDC confirmed that *BSD accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last [samag.com] in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin [amazingkreskin.com] to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 9364200f its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time FreeBSD developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: FreeBSD is dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another t

It is now official - Netcraft has confirmed: *BSD is dying
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD community when recently IDC confirmed that *BSD accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last [samag.com] in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin [amazingkreskin.com] to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 9360610f its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time FreeBSD developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: FreeBSD is dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another t

Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe
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.
Know what I like about atheists? I've yet to meet one that believes God is on their side.
Why is this redundant?
I saw his Trash Mirror at the American Museum of the Moving Image in Queens. Very cool installation, and a wonderful geek-friendly museum, worth the visit if your from or in NYC.

It seems more organic, in its frame it looks almost like a piece of furniture. To me it looks like something you'd see in a wizard's study. Just from the movie the sound was neat, it must be amazing in real life.
Do you know where the wooden mirror is located?
Get off my virtual lawn, you damned virtual kids!
how similar these this site is the subject site.....
Creationists are a lot like zombies. Slow, but powerful and numerous. And they all want to eat our brains.
Because its a redundant mirror?
Ok, so it's not cutting edge stuff, but it sure does beat some of the dry, mundane applications we engineers use technology for on a daily basis.
On the other hand, engineers sometimes get more of an emotion from opening a control cabinet and seeing all the components neatly laid out, the wires nicely routed through ductwork, and little blinky LEDs. Not that I would, but...

Not to troll too bad, but who the fuck is reading slashdot on a Saturday night?! Get a freaking life people!!
Oh. Wait.
redundant seems a bit harsh ? moderators need to chill
Hmmm, that wooden mirror reminds me of the computer in Barbarella's spacechip.
This is nothing new- basically pinscreen animation (the first of which, Night on Bald Mountain, was made by inventor Alexander Alexeieff in 1933) with much larger "pixels", using chrome balls instead of pins, and much lower resolution. Actual pinscreen animations like Mindscape have a much higher resolution, and look almost like lithographs.
Of course, images on the pinscreen have to be manually "drawn" in using rollers & hand tools, which takes a considerable amount of time.

That's amazingly cool. It's a bit of a double mirror. It's reflective, and then you can point the image capture at you and have it shaped like you while you''re looking at the reflection of you in the balls. I wonder if we can figure out a way to get any more ways of mirroring involved there. What would happen if you pointed the camera at the mirror itself?

Warning to younger viewers. This site features a 2-3 minute movie of an individual playing with his balls.
I'd like to have one in my office and hook it into a vcr with a tape of some preset images, or into a keyboard (musical type). A keyboard reminds me of "Close Encounters".

Artists with a bent for electronics and physics are rare. Or is it the other way around? I wonder what he could do with small prisms?
The mirror ball display looks imaginative and geek cool. But, I really enjoyed the link to the Wooden display. It looks like a scaled up version of the Texas Instruments DLP micro mirror chip, currently used in high resolution digital cinema display projectors.
It's a great twist to see technology scaled up from the micromechanical to the macro world, instead of the other way around.
The sound seems more pleasing, and the resolution seems higher somehow.
