COPE employs technology to capture the gaze of others, transforming eye-tracking data into the raw material for its artistic compositions. This creative process, which underpins the creation of the artworks, incorporates the influence of external gazes from the very beginning. By extracting these visual data, COPE materializes individual perceptions into tangible art objects, providing a physical experience that invites deeper reflection.
At the heart of COPE is an exploration of perceptions and modes of influence transmission, both on an individual and societal level. The omnipresence of influence, whether conscious or subtle, is examined through the lens of art. By encouraging awareness of the degrees and modes of influence propagation, COPE seeks to provoke reflection on the discrepancies that may arise in communication and mutual understanding.
Each COPE installation is not only a physical manifestation of captured data but also an invitation to reflect on how we perceive and measure our environment and influence. Combining elements of engineering, material choice, and advanced technologies, COPE creates spectacular works that question the nature of human communication and the impact of diverse perceptions on our society.
