Exploring the Digital Gaze: An early internet-era artwork delves into the cyclical nature of surveillance and communication, capturing the overwhelming influx of information before the social network revolution.
Projection and microphone stand, evoke a sense of gaze and communication. The projected video shows a series of blinking eyes with green pupils, which may symbolize the constant watching and the overwhelming flow of information in the digital age. The repetition of the eyes represents the endless cycle of watching and talking, while the microphone stands, without an apparent speaker suggesting a one-sided or nonsensical conversation.
This time when the amount of information began to circulate at unprecedented rates, leading to feelings of irrelevance and the difficulty of finding meaning in the deluge of content. Created before the advent of social networks, the artwork comments on the overwhelming nature of digital communication and the challenge of finding significance amidst the noise.
