Proposition
Almost all of Daniel Rozin's artworks stand on a few concepts which are reflection, behavior and interaction. As we can see, the artwork that he created is a mirror-based pieces. This means the artist always apply on the reflection elements. For example, Mechanical Mirror, Software Mirror and Glass Sculpture. Even his artwork on sculpture also applied based on the mirror-liked artwork.
For the artist, he wants to combine the new invention of technology and the beauty of art. Nowadays, art has been invented in many forms of presentation. So, the artist apply the updated concepts into his artworks.
Personal Comment :
In my opinion, I love this artwork and the invention of technology in the form of art. The combination of technology and art gives more impacts to the user and make them to appreciate art more. As we can see from the artwork, the device invented from the artist is really cool. It seems as the mirror copycat the real image.
As may suggestion, maybe the artist can insert the element of colors in the artwork. In addition, he also can create different surface of the mirror-liked as a new invention by using different materials. Lastly, the artwork looks more cool if the mirror-liked surface is the made as the size of a human being. So, we can capture the movement of the whole body.
