wooden mirror interactive art

Hudson showed me this today:


In my best words, there is a tiny camera in the center of the piece, which collects the data of light and shape from whatever is in it's POV. From there, it sends this data to a computer which processes the information, tranfers it to hundreds of little electronic motors, which move each individual wooden panel, overall creating the image which stands in front of the piece. The shade gradiation occurs naturally from the overhead light, reflecting onto the grain of the wood, thus causing shadowing.

The artist's name is Daniel Rozin. He is the Associate Art Professor at ITP, Tisch School of the Arts in New York City.
