The Eye and I is a 6DoF 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.

«More than an artistic encounter, The Eye and I is a unique opportunity for immersive creation, addressing the theme of surveillance and control in the form of a digital entertainment accessible to all. » - Jean-Michel Jarre.

«Surveillance is deeply rooted in our culture. It reflects our belief in the understanding of the truth. To go beyond surveillance, we must understand its history and reason, and then we can escape and transcend from it.» - Hsin-Chien Huang.
