REC (Random Eye Check) is an interactive installation set in a cultural context in which surveillance over the society is no exception and the post-digital culture is overloaded with pictures and videos. Apparently, the today’s society is ready to embrace many forms of surveillance, especially those which do not impose limits on the society but bring about more convenience. Whether we like it or not, we engage in a daily interaction with real or virtual methods of gathering data about our lives.
