Exhibited for the first time at bitforms gallery, Daniel Rozin's "Peg Mirror" comprises 650 circular wooden pieces that are cut on an angle. Casting shadows by twisting and rotating in unison, wooden pegs forming concentric circles surround a small central camera. The mirrored image produced in this work is activated by software authored by Rozin that processes video signals and breaks up imagery geometrically, seemingly pixel by pixel. The silently moving wood components in this piece flicker like jewels or coins in the spotlight, challenging our notions about what constitutes a "digital object".

I think this is amazing - the fact that the properties of the peg material can be warped and betrayed in this way is pretty spooky.
I prefer this piece to the other mirror designs Rozin's produced because the relief of each peg creates such a definite shadow -> I think that adds a lot to the final effect. Almost reminds me of a wood cut... mind-boggling.
the pegs are cut diagonally at the front end, and the peg in the middle is a camera. a computer inside it sees the live pictures from the camera, and rotates the pegs to, with shadow and highlights, recreate the viewer before her eyes. i hope that made it clear :]
