Jean-Michel Jarre & Hsin-Chien Huang’s «The Eye and I» is a true collaboration from its inception. Both artists share a fascination for the notion of surveillance with its influence and presence throughout the ages. This immersive work invites you on a journey through the evolution of surveillance, from religious supervision to today’s digital omnipresence and control. Through 12 cells set in a panopticon, vistors explore the influence of surveillance in art, family, politics, social organization and technology. Jean-Michel Jarre’s exclusive music composition enhances the immersive experience, creating a singular collaborative work for the mind and senses.

The Eye and I is an interactive virtual reality (VR) visual and musical journey in which the viewer discovers a collection of 12 large-scale virtual worlds, each dealing with a key moment in history and humanity’s schizophrenic need for surveillance and control. Visitors enter each world at their own pace, until they inevitably return to their starting point: a panoptic prison cell where they are under constant surveillance.
