This performative art installation involves a real-time digital durational self portrait made whilst listening to Stalker by Dean Blunt with earphones in; projected through a VCR camera and onto three CRT televisions (via single-channel video) two of which face watching each other through the subject itself of which is being projected; the third television facing my MacBook Pro as a means to record the real-time projection via Photo Booth. This recording is displayed on the left of the composition. The right of the composition shows that which was recorded by the other recording source; an iPhone 6 Plus which was adhered to the VCR camera.

I am watching you. You are watching me. I am watching me. I am watching you watching me. You are watching me watching myself. I am watching a projection of myself watching myself being projected. I am watching itself. It is watching me. It is watching itself. Et cetera.

Other materials employed: S-Video cord, RCA cables, joiners, splitters, chargers, extension leads, powerboards, stands, black painting sheet, VCR remote, AUX extender
