EyE was a school project by Lindy Lin, completed as part of the Audiovisual Techniques for Musicians course at the Iceland University of the Arts during the 2023 Spring Semester.
The project employed multi-dimensional approaches, including 2D illustrations, Ableton Live, AI generative software, and TouchDesigner techniques, to explore and challenge the societal maze and gaze faced by women.

Lyrics: ChatGPT
In realms celestial,
high above,
Lived Oculus,
the God of Eyes,
with love.
With orbs that held the cosmic sea, He watched creation,
endlessly.
He gifted eyes to the first of life, A sacred link,
a gaze so rife.
Between mortals and the divine,
A connection formed,
a sacred line.
Silent guardian of fate's design, Oculus' gaze, so pure, so fine.
In each pair of eyes,
a universe spun,
Threads of existence,
brightly begun.
Gaze into eyes, a divine art,
Revealing truths,
a work of heart.
Oculus,
the watcher, unseen,
yet near,
Guiding souls through doubt and fear.
Temples adorned with eyes so wise, Seeking blessings 'neath starlit skies. In prayers,
a plea for clarity's grace,
Oculus, God of Eyes, in every face. Mythical deity,
we weave the story,
Of gazes profound,
of eternal glory.
In the language of glances,
a cosmic tie,
Oculus,
the God of Eyes,
reigns high.
