Interesting technology. But, technically, it’s not a mirror.
Look, I don’t tell artists what to name their pieces, and yes it is a mirror… 2nd definition in the dictionary…
mir·ror (mĭr’ər)
1. A surface capable of reflecting sufficient undiffused light to form an image of an object placed in front of it.
2. Something that faithfully reflects or gives a true picture of something else.
… everyone’s a critic…
pwned!
