The camera loves you is an interactive installation depicting a CCTV camera that performs a display of affection towards its audience. By positioning viewers as the subject of this automated admiration, the piece interrogates society's growing dependence on artificial systems in ways that are becoming increasingly personalised and intimate.
The work combines a Vision-Language model with a Large Language Model to generate personalised, affectionate responses directed at audience members.
It invites reflection on how such systems shape our feelings, influence our behaviour, and potentially erode our sense of agency.
