Poong is a game of pong, but with two O’s, like eyes, cause you control the game with your eyes. It’s very clever.

For this self-directed project, I chose to teach myself TouchDesigner. Lacking a large installation space, I wanted to instead explore the interactive capabilities of the software in a more intimate way. The notion of the gaze became very interesting to me, because looking is a way of navigating space without physically affecting it. It is the most delicate way one can interact with a space. And so inverting this delicacy—creating impact from merely sight—was highly compelling.
