Size - W 67″ x H 80″ x D 10″ (170cm , 203cm, 25cm).

“Built in 1999, this is the first mechanical mirror I built. This piece explores the line between digital and physical, using a warm and natural material such as wood to portray the abstract notion of digital pixels.”

    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…
