Automative Gaze
We developed a model of a car using a sensor and a camera, the final outcome was an experimental moving image showcasing the interaction between the spectator and the vehicle. We used an Arduino board and an ultrasonic sensor that allows the car to detect an object in a 50cm radius and avoid it. The moving image is split into a 4 screen sequence, two of the frames showcase the spectator’s viewpoint and reaction, and the other two frames display the car’s viewpoint which is from a lower angle. These 4 frames were further developed into a CCTV-like format display, in order to address the intimate or disturbing gaze which was induced both from the viewer and the car. We aimed to present our observation on the way the spectator and a machine perceive and react to each other. We finally wanted to capture the moment the gazes cross, between the viewer and the car.
