Steve Sacks is examining Daniel Rozin’s “Trash Mirror,” a $70,000 “reactive sculpture” made up of a stained coffee-cup lid, a Marlboro cigarette pack, a crinkled Snapple label and some 500 other pieces of garbage. Via video input, motors and custom software, the patchwork of urban refuse is orchestrated to reflect whoever stands in front of the work.

“[Rozin] took something that was thousands of years old, the mosaic, and through technology he made it a contemporary art piece,” observes Sacks, owner of bitforms, a gallery in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood that represents artists devoted to digital and digitally influenced art.
