Abstract

A series of reflections are presented concerning a research-creation project that explores the artistic production of visualizations based on gaze tracking experiments with moving images. In this way, scientific and technological elements of gaze measurement are related to aspects of audiovisual language and electronic art production.

The gazes are recorded with a high-resolution eye tracking device. The data obtained is a fundamental part of the imaging process, but not the subject of this analysis. The visual compositions created by software from the gaze trajectories reveal the active and creative aspects involved in the process of seeing.

A gaze, into a gaze, of a gaze. The creator of the moving images provides the first, the person who watches these images while the movement of their eyes is recorded, the second, and finally, the spectators of the resulting visualizations.

By visualizing the gaze of individual viewers, a singular experience is revealed in the presence of the images. The unique relationship between the viewer and the observed scenes is materialized in an aesthetic exploration.
