Another interactive mechanical mirror from Daniel Rozin from his current exhibition at the bitforms gallery in New York – a congregation of soft toy penguins that turn in formation when approached:
“Penguins Mirror” is an installation scattered on the floor and
comprised of 450 motorized stuffed animals. Reductive in palette, yet
baroque in behavior, it performs an absurdly homogeneous system of
movement. Playing with the compositional possibilities of black and
white, each penguin turns from side to side and responds to the presence
of an audience. As they perform, the penguins’ collective intelligence
is puzzling, yet somehow familiar, as the plush toys enact a precise
choreography rooted in geometry.
