Animistic Gaze

An interactive projection-mapping installation on "digital animism" and surveillance capitalism. Everyday dead objects on a desk — a cup, a book, a crumpled paper — are given green ASCII giant eyes that silently track you; but the moment you turn to scrutinize one, it senses danger and instantly dissolves. The "uncertainty" of the gaze becomes a metaphor for algorithmic surveillance that is everywhere yet cannot be looked at directly.
