? the interaction from the bird’s perspective, and
? how the interaction will be embodied in 40 years’ time .
The main purpose of this exercise is to co-imagine a utopian future with more positive interspecies relations between humans
Based on these drawings, we are creating a number of visualizations presenting those perspectives in Virtual Reality.
In this way, we allow viewers to visualise participants' perspective shift through a series of drawings made in response to given
