A woman’s digital portrait alters depending on how her visitors interact with the apples placed on offer in the installation space.
The portrait observes and responds to her visitors in various ways. If a visitor eats the apple, the portrait alters and gains digital weight, in proportion to the number of bites taken; if the visitor abstains, the portrait alters in other ways and eventually vanishes; and if the portrait receives insufficient attention (time spent, apple interactions) over an installation time of several months, animation frames are deleted and the portrait gradually decays.
