A chilling reflection on modern surveillance, WE ARE WATCHING is a website and interactive video piece that draws inspiration from George Orwell’s 1984 and the pervasive reality of surveillance marketing. Blending research on digital tracking with the ominous presence of Big Brother, the work reminds us that someone is always watching.

Created using TouchDesigner and public webcam footage, the piece features randomized video streams that evoke the unsettling omnipresence of surveillance. A spotlight follows the viewer’s mouse cursor across the screen, mirroring the eerie feeling of being constantly observed.

This piece highlights that you are never truly alone in today’s contemporary digital age.
