GP1 is a research-based interactive painting that explores perception as a spatial force.

The work uses gaze tracking to position the viewer’s attention as an active input. Rather than observing the image passively, the viewer’s point of focus directly influences the behavior of the system. The painting responds by shifting, compressing, or distorting in relation to where it is being looked at.

The surface behaves like a tensioned canvas. This introduces a feedback loop in which perception is no longer separate from the work, but becomes the mechanism that alters it.

GP1 investigates the relationship between vision and control. It questions whether looking is a neutral act, or whether it carries a form of influence over what is seen. By translating gaze into spatial deformation, the work turns attention into a measurable and visible force.

Positioned between painting and computational system, GP1 proposes an alternative model of image interaction, where perception does not interpret the image, but actively reshapes it.
