Body
A warped stroll through a forest. Animated still photographs reveal movement and light on the forest paths that are otherwise invisible to the human eye. Van Bakel made a 'scanner-camera' that extends human vision to near-infrared light in an other-worldly way. What's this thing called vision? What's the fundamental difference between what a robot discerns, what a flying insect detects or man's observation?
