MIRROR OR ARTWORK?
Daniel is an artist, educator and developer working in the area of interactive digital art. As an interactive artist, Rozin creates installations and sculptures that have the unique ability to change and respond to the presence and point of view of the viewer. In many cases the viewer becomes the contents of the piece and in others the viewer is invited to take an active role in the creation of the piece.
Even though computers are often used in Rozin's work, they are seldom visible. As an educator he is an Arts Professor at ITP where he teaches classes related to art, fabrication and physical computing. He was born in Jerusalem and formally trained as an industrial designer. His work has been exhibited widely with solo exhibitions in the US and internationally and featured in publications such as The New York Times, Wired, ID, Spectrum and Leonardo. His work has earned him numerous awards including Prix Ars Electronica, ID Design Review and the Chrysler Design Award.
His works are spectacular. Works that are the results of years spent in the research and direct application of software and in studying the potential of new technologies. Works that focalize on the concept of “mirror” with admirable perseverance. That means the direct and formal translation of the everyday interactivity that an object as the mirror is able to create with everyone that stares at it.
The originality and simplicity of all the works by Daniel Rozin born during deep studies and a ten-year experience on how PC technologies are able to answer differently to the spectator point of view, physically involved with an active role and part of Rozin’s installations. Artist and researcher able to create his own mathematic expression codes, reluctant to the use of software introduced in a massive way on the market, Rozin has produced during a long carrier tons of works and interactive installations/mirrors, not necessarilyfocused on an evident manifestation of technology, but ruled by a hidden dialogue between physical material, recycled material, everyday material and computer exactly.
Wow. He really shows us that when you combine art and technology you can make something out of the box, something unique, different, and cool. When we stand in front of his masterpieces, we become part of his artwork. That's something we rarely see in the world. Well, every artwork has a different style. And I love this style :)
