Using its 360-degree lens, the camera continuously records the environment, interpreting the relationships between people, vehicles, and objects in real time. Powered by AI object detection and a Large Language Model, it identifies potential dangers and responds with adaptive strategies, mirroring the survival instincts of a machine burdened by memory. In this scenario, the artwork explores how relentless observation, perception, and meaning-making shape the machine’s role as a witness to the unpredictable rhythms of human life.
