Machine Gaze (2024)

MEDIA INSTALLATION
Programmed generative eye (video variations)
Painted window frames & carpet

Machine Gaze explores the aesthetics of machine vision and the politics of seeing through algorithms. The installation combines hand-painted window frames showing AI-generated imagery with a looping “generative eye,” a programmed video work that looks back at the viewer.

The work reveals how surveillance and observation are linked to power, but also how the machine’s visual eye functions beyond human perception. It studies the visual language of computation—the glitches, repetitions and distortions that define generative imagery—and asks what kind of aesthetics emerge when machines learn to see.

By placing the viewer in a feedback loop of watching and being watched, Machine Gaze turns the act of looking into a shared and uncertain experience between human and algorithmic vision.
