And, given this knowledge, how might they respond to us?&#8221; The sculpture presents a solitary mechatronic blinking eye, at human scale, which responds to the gaze of visitors with a variety of psychosocial eye-contact behaviors that are at once familiar and unnerving. Among other forms of feedback, Opto-Isolator looks its viewer directly in the eye; appears to intently study its viewer&#8217;s face; looks away coyly if it is stared at for too long; and blinks precisely one second after its visitor blinks.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Opto-Isolator\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flong.com\/projects\/optoisolator\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<object width=\"446\" height=\"326\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/video.ted.com\/assets\/player\/swf\/EmbedPlayer.swf\" \/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\" \/><param name=\"bgColor\" value=\"#ffffff\" \/><param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"vu=http:\/\/video.ted.com\/talks\/embed\/GolanLevin_2009-embed_high.flv&amp;su=http:\/\/images.ted.com\/images\/ted\/tedindex\/embed-posters\/GolanLevin-2009.embed_thumbnail.jpg&amp;vw=432&amp;vh=240&amp;ap=0&amp;ti=606\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"446\" height=\"326\" src=\"http:\/\/video.ted.com\/assets\/player\/swf\/EmbedPlayer.swf\" pluginspace=\"http:\/\/www.macromedia.com\/go\/getflashplayer\" wmode=\"transparent\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" flashvars=\"vu=http:\/\/video.ted.com\/talks\/embed\/GolanLevin_2009-embed_high.flv&amp;su=http:\/\/images.ted.com\/images\/ted\/tedindex\/embed-posters\/GolanLevin-2009.embed_thumbnail.jpg&amp;vw=432&amp;vh=240&amp;ap=0&amp;ti=606\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>For detail Info:<a title=\"Opto-Isolator\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flong.com\/projects\/optoisolator\/\">http:\/\/www.flong.com\/projects\/optoisolator\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"template":"","artist":[237,238],"streams":[8],"keywords":[2821,2102,2442,2448,2431],"decade":[5544],"media":[5548,5546],"class_list":["post-201","artwork","type-artwork","status-publish","hentry","artist-golan-levin","artist-greg-baltus","streams-charged-environments","keywords-eye-tracking-2","keywords-interactive","keywords-observer","keywords-opto-solator","keywords-responsive","decade-2000s","media-text","media-video"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork\/201","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artwork"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork\/201\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=201"},{"taxonomy":"streams","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/streams?post=201"},{"taxonomy":"keywords","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/keywords?post=201"},{"taxonomy":"decade","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/decade?post=201"},{"taxonomy":"media","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?post=201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
