statement:
What can we learn from shapeshifting?
To See Like You uses ultraviolet and infrared light to imagine the more-than-human world as it appears in wavelengths beyond 700 nanometers and 380 nanometers.
This is an ongoing project that leaves human perception behind to step into the shoes of another. How can imagining the world through another's eyes affect our relationships?
These extensions of the body are inspired by Star Trek’s Geordi LaForge, Circe’s rhabdos, and Ninĝišzida of ancient Mesopotamia. How do stories of bio-electronic engineering, of humans turning into animals, speaking with vegetation, or traveling through worlds and underworlds affect reality?
Lichen absorbs UV light, and snow reflects UV light. Do deer see lichen as a dark patch in the snow? How does a ghost appear to a cat? What does a marigold look like to a moth?
