Artist Daniel Rozin has created numerous mechanical mirrors using trash, wood, pompoms, and more! This one, made with paired pink and blue troll dolls, definitely caught our attention. Every pair of dolls rotates and re-aligns to capture the silhouette of the person standing in front of it. Mechanical mirrors use video cameras, small motors, and computers on board to reproduce a “pixel” version of what’s reflected as the viewer interacts with them. This means that they need an audience to come to life: “The important part of this equation is the person, not the artifact.” Check out all of Daniel Rozin interactive art here

On Monday night our team took a trip back in time at the Segal Centre’s presentation of BOOM – a show that explores the defining moments of the baby-boom generation. Written, directed and performed by Rick Miller, this incredible one-man show guides audiences through 25 years of history. Miller portrays over a hundred of the generations’ most influential cultural, musical, and political icons. Combining a documentary style performance, storytelling, and interactive visuals, BOOM was an amazing experience! Even though we aren’t boomers ourselves, we were still able to relate to the context of the show, and reflect upon our own experiences, as well as our parents’ and grandparents’ stories of that era. The show runs at the Segal Centre in Montreal, Quebec until April 10th and if you move quickly, there are still a couple of tickets left.
