An exploration of technology, soul, and craft: An elegant, hand-crafted end table has a single, life-like eye that looks around the room and responds to human faces. When you look at it, it looks back at you and follows you as you move around. Does the technology, with its imitation of a life-like eye, make the table more soulful? Does the table, hand-crafted by artisans, make the technology more soulful? How do such combinations change viewers' responses?
