Argus (2025)

Variable dimensions | Multi-Channel Video Installation

Titled after the many-eyed creature of Greek mythology, Argus is a video installation that investigates the invisible infrastructures of surveillance embedded in the modern city. The piece consists of multiple LCD monitors stripped of their polarizing filters, rendering the images invisible to the naked eye. Viewers must actively navigate the space using handheld or wall-mounted polarizing lenses to reveal the images, an intentional disruption that transforms passive observation into an embodied act of seeing.

The revealed footage consists of overlapping LiDAR scans of urban environments, distorted to reflect the fractured, non-human perspective of machine vision. Through this process, Argus foregrounds the mechanics of constant digital surveillance while prompting viewers to confront their own participation in these systems. Visibility becomes conditional, reminding us that seeing, like power, is never neutral.
