His work has earned him numerous awards including Prix Ars Electronica, ID Design Review and the Chrysler Design Award.
Rozin creates interactive installations and sculptures that have the unique ability to change and respond to the presence and point of view of the viewer. Even though computers are often used in Rozin's work, they are seldom visible. Mirrors and mediated perception of the self are the central themes in Rozin’s recent work. In many cases the viewer becomes the subject of the piece and in others the viewer is invited to take an active role in the creation or performance of his artwork.
Mirrors Mirror is a mechanical sculpture that organizes the 768 square reflective pixels along a picture plane. This piece is the first by Rozin that deflects the person standing before it. Investigating order versus chaos and the inner workings of human visual perception, Mirror Mirror also explores the borderlines between digital and analog worlds, or virtual and physical experience.
