The Eyes of the Machine

I was asked to create a audio visual installation at AI Mad Lab Summit at Norwegian Startup Lab in October 2024. Building upon their prior branding which was a simple dot, I decided to suspend a 3m diameter inflatable sphere from the ceiling onto which I projected a series of famous eyes that have represented AI in popular culture.

Eyes are known as windows to the soul. Therefor, a virtual intelligence, which AI usually are often represented simply as an eye. Most famously Hal 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey. In addition, I transformed famous characters into a spherical version of themselves.
