Your Eye's Motion by Luna

Your Eye’s Motion by Luna is an exploration of human perception through robotic motion. The ambition for this research project was to create a new instrument of wonder that could create a real-time and elemental connection between what is seen and machinic motion. With the use of an eye-tracker capturing the position of the user’s pupil and direction of gaze with infrared light, the installation enhances the active observer’s vision and uses it as an input for controlling Luna, a lit-up robotic arm. The x-y data position of the eye of the observer peeping into the device is mapped on the range of motion of the light clipped on the robotic arm. This creates an extension of the eye and takes the body to places it cannot otherwise access, similar to an optical device.
