Scopaesthesia
Scopaesthesia describes the acute (some say psychic) sensitivity people have to being watched by another. Using computer vision to direct animatronic eyes, this interactive installation uses the discomfort of scopaesthesia to magnify awareness of the ubiquitous digital surveillance of modern life, raising questions about how comfortable we are with being constantly watched.
