Daniel Rozin's Mechanical Mirrors Transform Everyday Objects into Reflective Art

Israeli-American artist Daniel Rozin (born 1961) creates mechanical installations that function as mirrors, reflecting viewers' movements in real time using materials like wood, tiles, trash, fans, fabrics, and toys. In a video published by Wired magazine, Rozin explains his artistic focus on reflection, stating that no invention has transformed self-perception more than the mirror. Although not technically mirrors, his works make the spectator an integral part of the piece. Rozin's central concept involves building devices that turn object surfaces into reactive systems mimicking shapes and motions. The video offers behind-the-scenes looks at his most famous works.
