While I like the photo work of Ananké Asseff (Remnants of the Paradise, for example), I was particularly excited to come across her interactive video piece entitled Contemplation.

Model of Contemplation, 2005-06

The piece consists of a girl sitting on the ground, contemplating the landscape with her back to the viewer. As the viewer approaches the screen, the woman turns (triggered by a sensor) to look at the viewer. When the viewer moves away from the screen, the girl turns back.

A simple installation that works quite beautifully.
