Eyecatcher
Interactive installation from Interactive Architecture Lab is a frame which follows a person around the wall, even ‘looking’ back at you - video embedded below:
Using a combination of industrial robotics and high power magnets, a seemingly inconspicuous frame on a wall, magically comes to life. Through a series of experimental films, photography and physical prototypes, the primitive effects of eye (and eye-like) stimuli have been investigated. The Eye Catcher project in its conclusion has developed a novel expressive interface where emotion recognition algorithms read audience faces and in-turn trigger the animation of a face formed of ferrofluid. As people walk by, unaware of the interactive installation, out of the corner of their eye, they see an unexpected movement. Turning their head, they find an empty frame on the wall appearing to move towards them and as they stop in disbelief it positions itself to look straight at them. Suddenly from the murky black liquid sitting in the bottom of the frame, two primordial pupils rise up and seem to stare back at its viewer. A hidden pinhole camera in the frame captures the facial expressions of the onlooker and responds with a range of emotions crafted out of the subtle manipulation of motion cues. An uncanny and playful interaction is formed as expressions are exchanged.
There is also a video documenting how this installation was made:

String Art and Geometric Drawings by Sebastien Preschoux
Artist Sebastien Preschoux creates impressive string art sculptures as well as intricate geometric drawings. The detail and complexity in such pieces is truly astonishing. Preschoux describes his methods in design as being slightly spontaneous, as he starts with a center point, and let’s the art work happen for itself as it goes. He uses various colors and venue for his string installations which span vast spaces in the process. His drawings are meticulous and delicately constructed with a methodical approach, much like his string sculptures. This comprises the second collection of works we’ve featured by this artist, don’t miss the first series of Sebastien Preschoux..

The Innocents (1961)
What shall I sing to my lord from my window? What shall I sing for my lord will not stay? What shall I sing for my lord will not listen? Where shall I go, for my lord is away?
Whom shall I love when the moon is arisen? Gone is my lord and the grave is his prison. What shall I say when my lord comes a calling? What shall I say when he knocks on my door? What shall I say when his feet enter softly… Leaving the marks of his grave on my floor.
Enter, my lord. Come from your prison. Come from your grave, for the moon is arisen. Welcome, my lord.
The Disturbing Sculptures of Dongwook
" Love Me Sweet"arario gallery, Seoul samcheong, Korea 2012
Dongwook Lee’s works focus on the contradictions that are fundamentally inherent in human existence and life. Exquisitely hyper-realistic and surrealistically imagined renditions of his miniature human figures are staged in absurd situations in Lee’s works, in which the bleak everyday life transforms into poetic horror. In Lee’s work, a fragile warrior is wearing his own flesh as his armor, and the naked child stands with innocent face in front of blood-stained killing (which he might have committed). His oeuvre stands at an odd intersection of life and death, beauty and cruelty, civilization and wild, and reality and fantasy, unfolding a world of fantasy where people are severed from reality.
He looked directly at me as I took the picture. I’m scared.
