Eye-tracked digital artwork. Real-time eye-tracking translates where you look and for how long into an evolving digital mosaic. The piece becomes a portrait of your attention.

The Piece Learns Where You Look
Vision Mosaic is an eye-tracked digital artwork where the piece itself evolves based on your gaze. Real-time eye-tracking monitors where you look and for how long, and every point of sustained attention becomes part of an evolving digital mosaic. Areas you have looked at accumulate visual detail and colour. Areas you have not remain sparse. Over the course of a viewing session, the artwork becomes a portrait of your attention rather than a fixed image you look at from outside. The concept inverts the conventional relationship between viewer and artwork: the piece is not finished before you arrive. It is made by the fact of you looking at it.
Attention as a Drawing Tool
The eye-tracking pipeline uses a standard consumer eye-tracking device to capture gaze coordinates at sufficient resolution and frame rate for the interaction to feel responsive without requiring precise deliberate aim. The mosaic accumulation algorithm was designed to reward sustained attention over rapid scanning, so the piece builds in ways that reflect genuine looking rather than the jittery eye movement that happens when someone first enters a new visual field. Tiles accumulate over a dwell threshold, which means the emerging mosaic has a compositional quality driven by what genuinely held your attention. Two people looking at the same base image will produce different mosaics depending on what they found compelling.
