Attention Whore

Attention Whore
An interactive piece that explores our constant need for validation and attention. The gaze of the eyes follows moving people and objects. It always focuses on the most interesting person in the room, but it can also get bored quickly and lose interest if you don’t move for a while. Multiple people can interact with the piece and compete for attention. You are not walking barcode! Video data never leaves the local device and is never stored. No biometric facial recognition technology is used.
