Daniel Rozin's Trash Mirror (2001)

Quote from website from http://www.smoothware.com/danny/newtrashmirror.html

Trash Mirror - 2001
500 pieces of variously colored trash collected from the streets of New York and artist's pockets, motors, control electronics, concealed video camera, computer. Size - W 76" x H 76" x D 8" (193cm ,193cm, 20cm) Though built 3 years after the Wooden Mirror, Trash mirror was conceived first, However the concept seemed too risky at the time so I decided to build the Wooden Mirror first. This piece suggests that we are reflected in what we discard. The piece celebrates the ability of computation to inflict order on even the messiest of substances - trash.
