This work is based on the complex vision of the Mantis Shrimp, where we explore the possibilities of it’s complex vision, to be able to “translate” it to human vision and human image processing, by making a 1st person virtual reality video to embody the visual experiences that these incredible stomatopodas experience everyday.
We are André Lima and Luís Jacinto.
We are growing creatives, with music composition, installation art, video art and poster art as main subjects to our creative work.
Our campaign was raised in order to contibute to the visual world, and to the understanding of itself, by changing perspectives and opening paths to new look-outs.
Once it’s done, we can have a better knowledgement about sensory processing/receiving system, that can lead to new and remarkable discoveries.
We Need
Aquarium (100€) – to make the video recordings
Lighting equipment (120€)
Pay for software costs (100€/month – 200€/total)
Pay for room/space costs (80€)

Mantis Shrimp unique 12 color vision/processing system (up to 16)
Their 6 pupils, which grant them increased visual depthness
Their rotative eye alignment
Their color pattern communication system
EVERYTHING in a 1st person reality immersive simulation
Just can’t do it?
