caring eye

(2024)
“caring eye”  is a video art and installation based on google maps 3d data

    moving slowly and unstably through the landscapes of the
    netherlands, the viewer is put in a perplexing (or perplexed)
    position. through whose eyes are they looking? what is their
    role in this act of surveillance? are they even meant to see
    what they're watching? these questions gain urgency with
    (alleged) authenticity of data. 

    staged in unreal engine and borrowing relevant information
    from google maps api, the work questions the mediation of
    the environment through the data infrastructures - and the
    way we build relationships with those images
