SIDETRACK: EYE-SUCKING-INFORMATION
While milling the rain in the block of foam we were a bit conflicted about where to take it next. As a result of this conflict we decided to take a little detour into tracking the eye.
In our first discussion, Jeanine mentioned how it could be interesting to play with the compression of the memory of a place. For example making an installation where every time you access the image (live feed) you would change the image. We really liked the idea of compressing or reducing our surroundings. We started talking about how you are constantly compressing everything around you. While typing this text, we are compressing our thoughts into something that -hopefully- makes sense to others.
When you think about how we constantly compress, we also choose to not compress certain things. With that in mind we wanted to make an installation of some sort that would show what we are not compressing (by erasing what we've compressed). To do this we researched the possibility to track eye movement.
We found a useable code by (...) (?) and tried to understand what it is that she did. By reusing and tweaking it to our advantage we were able to track the eye and make it leave a trace where it had looked. We ended up using some leaked document from wikileaks.
For us it was interesting that when you read the text, no one else could read it anymore. Because you had sucked the information from the screen.
