in/sight ︎
in/sight is an installation that questions how and why we surveil and monitor ourselves. The desire to control how others perceive us fills our brains with ourselves, becoming almost narcissistic. We begin to self-surveil, focusing critical attention on how we present ourselves to the outside world.
To materialize this concept, in/sight mimics a low-fidelity basement surveillance room with multiple screens and cameras. However, rather than other people, the cameras are pointed back at the watcher, resembling a distorted vanity table. Several different angles confront the viewer, either intriguing them with their reflections, or making them uncomfortable.
