In the Eyes of the Animal

In the Eyes of the Animal, a journey through the food chain, is an artistic interpretation of the sensory perspectives of three British species. Created using Lidar scans, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones & bespoke 360° cameras, the piece is set to a binaural soundscape using audio recordings sourced from Grizedale Forest in the north of England. Created by creative studio Marshmallow Laser Feast (MLF) – who delight in exploring the line between virtual and real-world experiences – this critically acclaimed work launched online in September 2016. In the Eyes of the Animal was also experienced in a live natural environment on its UK and international tour, where sculptural virtual reality headsets were suspended from overhanging woodland, enabling forest explorers to traverse the animated, real-world, landscape.
