Eyepiece is a 16mm film installation, where an image of
a human eye is projected onto a custom-made rear-screen dome, thus
become 3D. Eyepiece was originally produced using raw footage of
human eyeballs in 1979. In 1983, it was re-filmed for the Siggraph
Art Show using Ed Tannenbaums realtime image processor to
make an abstracted version, called "Computer Eyepiece."
Both Eyepiece and Computer Eyepiece had been exhibited as a site-specific
component, integrated into the given environment
