The individual in terms of the group, and the group in terms of the
individual: The individual is assigned to the group, and the group is
structured out of individuals. The relationship between the individual
and the group is one wherein the two closely influence each other. The
relationship between the person and society is similar. In this
installation, algorithms of flock movement found in /boids/ are applied
to the lines of sight of each of the faces projected on screen, thus
creating a line of sight for each person within the pseudo-society, and
a collective line of sight comprised of the movements of the lines of
sight of each person. Further, the lines of sight for each of the faces
on screen is affected by the viewer, thus expressing the elements of
structure in the relationship between one's own line of sight and society's.
