The Hourglass Mirror

Part of Daniel Rozin's Software Mirrors series (when a viewer stands in front of a mirror, their image is reflected on the screen after it has been interpreted by the computer.), Hourglass Mirror examines notions of time, scanning, motion and stagnation.

The image of the viewer is created by the movement of the grains of sand in the upper part of the hourglass, in the lower part of the hourglass a representative color of the viewer is settled to create a sediment that keeps building up creating a history of a few minutes worth of viewers.

Movie.
