The “Wooden Mirror,” created by Daniel Rozin in 1999, is in fact, exactly that.
By installing motors behind hundreds of wooden squares, he has created his own version of a looking pond. As the onlooker peers in, their reflection is projected on a manipulated non-reflective surface. In my opinion, this is technology at its best, as it takes on a more organic approach. By taking something so complex, and breaking it down into the bear minimal, he has created something beautiful.
