new project: GAZE

after testing with sonar sensor, I quickly made this project in the break between my icm and pcomp project. it's hard to believe I could be pretty efficient. anyway, back to the project ! The project is a recreation of my observation in NYC subway. I like to look at people in the subway. new yorker don't like to interact with people through verbal conversation, but they often like to create eye glazing interaction. This silent scenario quiet often became my own creation inside of my mind. The optical delay while you glaze someone who found out you are staring at him/her, it became a embarrassing moment that you have to live with it and make this awkward adjustment with your mind and eye balls.

description: the video plays a still profile image of Joshua(he is my friend, but it could be anyone else) who is looking at somewhere in from of him. When people walk by the sensor trigger the video, which plays Joshua looking at the viewers and quickly go back to his business.


*it is still on a prototype stage, I am hoping to get a better quality of photo and projection will be the ideal output. Muti-projection will be a plus, but not quiet sure if this is a better way to approach the crowd.
