Hey, so a while back we created these awesome, interactive mosaic mirrors for an installation in the McLeod Residence in Seattle. Well, we’ve just finished v2 of them (in a stunning 7-foot tall aluminum body) and our friends at O’Reilly asked if we would loan them one for their awesome Web 2.0 Expo, going on right now.
So we did. And it’s there. RIGHT NOW. So you should go to the Expo because it’s awesome, and then check out our Mirror while you’re there.

The first version created mosaic reflections based on images of all of the people who had looked in the mirror before. This new version does that, too, but it also incorporates any photos tagged with “portrait” on Flickr.

It’s pretty awesome.

The works are great! I like the idea a lot. It seems to me the mirrors demanded a lot of time and patience but they are worth it. I think they can be exhibited during Bianalle week. I've seen the exhibits, downloaded some videos at torrents SE http://torrentbasket.com .
