The Wooden Mirror by Daniel Rozin

The Wooden Mirror is an example of interactive design that uses old and new, pixel and physical, technology and craft.  It's like a Sparkletts truck with artificial intelligence.

I've always been fond of Sparkletts trucks.

Foldables

I like the idea of being able to download a 2-D object, print it out, and turn it into something 3-dimensional or even useful.

"Don't make something unless it is both necessary and useful; but if it is both necessary and useful, don't hesitate to make it beautiful."

Posted are images of a bowl and a container.  The bowl is a pinch pot that I made, a basic pottery technique where you use your fingers to pinch the shape of the bowl.  I glazed the bowl by holding it upside down and dipping it in glaze.  My five fingerprints are left on the glaze.  Those fingerprint marks underscore both the process of glazing a bowl and the act of holding a bowl with our hands as we use it.  The container is a closed-form technique of pottery.  The "belly-button" is the natural form that occurs when the form is closed.  I wanted to be honest with my process and not cover up the "belly-button", but I also wanted to relate the spot where the form was closed to the act of opening and closing the box itself.
