SEE: {Sight Enhanced Electronics} : We visit galleries to 'look at art', a very one-sided affair. What if the exhibits in a gallery could look back at us?
SEE challenges viewers' expectations by reacting to their presence, movements and faces. Given a basic 'artificial personality' people can truly interact with the exhibit as a cycle of action and reaction emerges.
The human face of SEE hides a more sinister facet, however, as 'interactive photography' is used as a tool to address a larger issue. SEE encourages viewers to face the screens directly, allowing a surveillance system to capture and analyse their image.
