How can AI explore the tension between observer and observed?

LOOK AT YOU!

Alice Federici

A window is a gateway to the world, inviting us to look beyond. Yet you are never only an observer. Remember: others may be watching you too. This project uses AI to explore voyeurism, revealing the fragile boundary between seeing and being seen.

This emerging project explores the creative and narrative potential of Artificial Intelligence through the theme of voyeurism. Starting from the idea that a window is both a tool for observing and a surface through which we can be observed, the work investigates the fragile boundary between seeing and being seen. AI technologies were used to experiment with different creative functions, resulting in a video installation accompanied by an explanatory booklet that documents the process, concepts, and tools behind the project.

The Window Is the Point

The course examines the "window" as a conceptual model of visual communication—as a metaphor, a device of perception, and a structural principle for layout, grids, typography, white space, and interactive elements. Students analyze historical and contemporary examples from art and design history to digital interfaces and use them as a basis for developing their own experimental design projects. The aim is to create projects that intentionally shape attention, visibility, and meaning in print and digital formats, staging them spatially.
