The Wandering Gaze project explores the relationship between the observer’s gaze and an image through eye-tracking technology. The installation allows the viewers’ gaze to be materialized into a tangible path that will erode the surface of a photograph. The image is thus a performative space, as the viewers’ gaze is invited to wander about and explore it, contributing to the piece even while causing its deterioration. Developed with the technical assistance of MILL (Tiago Rorke, Maurício Martins and Pedro Ângelo).
