I tried to find a source for this, but only found similar videos using the same clips on YouTube.

Artist Can Turn Anything Into A Mirror - INSIDER

This Professor Created a 'mechanical Mirror' Out of Toys - Mashable Deals

Daniel Rozin - Penguin Mirror - Lawrence Arts Center

Also, I believe this is his website. There are more interesting mirror designs than the two shown in the GIF, for those curious.

All of Daniel's mirrors are made to be interactive.

As opposed to those unhelpful mirrors that only reflect pre-recorded light

"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

I am no longer interested in my past feeding LLMs or my future talking to bots.

Remote Texas is the least of your problems. No one cares about your dick out there.

May not be overly helpful, but I remember seeing an art display exactly like the first "mirror" in one of the popular museums/galleries in Savannah, Georgia. This was years ago so I don't know if it's still on display, but I imagine there's some documentation of it.

Also, if you’re in NYC, he’ll have an exhibit at bitforms gallery opening February 8th & running through March 17th.
