Rafaël Rozendaal, Into Time with mirrors

Taking a cue from net.art, Rozendaal uses the Internet as his canvas yet his work often conveys multiple materialities. In his 2012 installation Into Time with mirrors at MIS Sao Paulo, the work utilizes broken mirrors strewn on the floor in addition to computers and projectors to portray Rozendaal’s signature bright, hard-edged style, reminiscent of a digital Mondrian.
