Come see a wall of eyes stare you down just like you wish to happen when you post on social media. AI generated endless video scrolling, AI generated comments on the videos, and a wall of eyes watching you. What is reality? What is the future of social media?

What Inspired You to Make This?

It started as a Halloween decoration but grew into almost a statement about AI and our current state of social networking. I wanted to show off the flat-ness and root feeling people get when scrolling through endless social network posts. I want to show that "even if the posts are fake you still feel compelled to follow them" which leads us down a dark road where no one actually does anything, we just live our lives through the social posts of others.
