Alan Rath — Wall Eye I
Alan Rath

Wall Eye I

Alan Rath's *Wall Eye I* is a striking work of technological sculpture that mounts a CRT monitor onto a sleek aluminum structure, creating an uncanny, disembodied eye-like presence. Driven by custom software and internal electronics, the monitor displays a hypnotic animated image that seems to observe the viewer, blurring the boundary between machine and organism. Rath's seamless integration of hardware and code transforms industrial components into a lifelike entity, probing themes of surveillance, artificial intelligence, and the evolving relationship between humans and technology.
