Mirror Mirror by Daniel Rozin
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:
Born in Jerusalem and initially trained as an industrial designer, Rozin crafts interactive installations by seamlessly merging found materials with motors, sensors, computer components, and software. The resulting constructions change and respond to the presence and perspective of the viewer, transforming the onlooker into the focal point. Unlike many digital artists who emphasize technology, Rozin often conceals the mechanics and hardware, creating a sense of mystery around the operation. He embraces the tactile structure, incorporating objects such as toys, pieces of wood, or mirrors, to recreate pixels on a large scale, recalling the early stages of computer graphics. The resulting sculptures investigate the connection and contrast between physical materials, kinetic mechanical motion, and the mathematical algorithmic generation of an image.
Serving as an Associate Arts Professor at the Interactive Telecommunications Program, Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, Rozin teaches coursework such as Introduction to Computational Media and The World-Pixel by Pixel, providing a future generation of new media and digital artists the opportunity to hone their craft, blending engineering, technology, and imagery into emergent art forms that embrace rapidly advancing invention and innovation.
“A lot of people love art and technology, not many people love both. People who come from technology are sometimes afraid of art, and people who are from the fields of art are reluctant to engage with technology. I hope that the way I use technology in my art brings these two audiences together in a way that is welcoming.” –Daniel Rozin, describing his work at the Zachry Engineering Education Complex, Texas A&M University
