Saccade is a new project by Bay Area-based tattooer, Pang. In collaboration with Casper Go and Sylvia Ke, Pang uses eye-tracking data to generate tattoo designs based on sentimental imagery provided (and looked at) by clients. Playing with the permanence of tattoo and the fleeting nature of memory, Pang tattoos one’s impression of a photo rather than the photo itself. In this project, rapid eye movements are captured, quantified, massaged through TouchDesigner, and etched into the skin. With Saccade, looking at and looking back are captured at once in a freeze frame and embedded in a tattoo. As the viewer convenes with the memories embedded in the picture on the screen, their gaze transforms into a permanent ephemera.
