Project Description

I wanted to create an interactive game that reflects on the watching, gazing, and staring in the space of a zoo. A staring competition where the participant (zoogoer) would reflect on the power and intention behind their simple watching that defines the activities. In which only the eyes remain the measurement of the gaze, and the face could be shifting from different species. We are so accustomed to the animal exhibition where our eyes are invited to wander freely, like in a museum. Behind this human-catered zoo experience, I wonder if we catch a returned gaze now or then, from a species not ours. I hope the game is enjoyable but confrontational.
