We are watching the world through the lenses of gadgets. No more serendipity is allowed — only attention economy occupying daily life.
"Eyes on Eyes" is based on the archival materials of Berlin city maps, speculative objects and merges two distinct mediums, playing them off one another to understand the observers' role while offering a glimpse into how algorithms see the world.
The artwork speculates how algorithms create visual regimes and what future shape cities may take by manipulating historical maps. Its narrative presents a surreal blend of fictional excerpts through an emergent visual scape. Moving into ongoing seeing practices, the piece resonates with the city's aerial landscape, deconstructs cartographic surveillance, and scrutinizes the senses through vision.
