Description

ZooMorph consists of plug-in filters for widely used image and video-editing software such as Photoshop and Final Cut Pro. The plug-ins simulate how a large selection of non-human animals see, creating pictures that help us experience the world through the eyes of another species. They are created with the assistance of scientists in the field of animal vision as well as non-scientific experts on animal vision such as shamans and animal communicators. The project functions as software art, generating individual art projects, and as an artistic collaboration amongst its users that evolves over time. ZooMorph intends to inspire humans to work on aesthetic projects together with other species – interspecies collaborations, and to make us aware of, and if possible facilitate, an intellectual, emotional and spiritual partnership with the species around us in the quest for a sustainable environment for all of us to thrive within.
