For an interesting read on the reactions that this interactive work created at the Context Art Miami art fair during Art Basel week 2017, read this. There you will see multiple images of people interacting with the work. The digital portrait images on the monitors on the left and right change every five seconds, while the center monitor is connected to a spy camera that captures the image of the person viewing the artwork and incorporates them into the piece.
