Notable works

Touchy has been presented in many countries around the world, in which Eric performs as The Human Camera. Wearing a headset which has shutters over his eyes, Touchy can only see when he is physically touched by a human. Holding for 10 seconds and looking into Touchy's eyes will result in a digital photograph being taken which is displayed on the back of his headset.[2] The work won first prize at the WRO International Media Art Biennale in Poland in 2013.
