A meditation on gamification, surveillance of the nonhuman world, and all that digital media cannot hold, OBSERVATION DECK is a video art piece set after dark on the edge of a village flanked by wilderness. Motion sensing and infrared remote-operated cameras struggle to capture the nuances of this distant, wild ecosystem at night. Yawning darkness is interrupted by gamified POV shots, voyeuristic lenses, whirring servos, and low-resolution distortion and digital artifacting of light and life. Meanwhile, from the shadows, an unexpected subject looks back and begins to approach.
