P_01_Video.mp4To create a distortion, we destabilised the anticipated horizontal symmetry view by disorienting the vertical symmetry.
Additionally, we incorporated contrasting lighting conditions for each eye, leading to different signals travelling from the retina through the optic nerve and to the brain, thereby intensifying the cognitive chaos.
Contrast lighting conditions for each eye achieved using materials of various opacity and reflectivity.
Eye 2.mp4Eye1.mp4Destabilise anticipated horizontal symmetry view achieved with cross-angle and lapping lenses.
