(project 2015—)
We started building helmets because we wanted to stretch the limits of our visual art beyond making objects-to-be-looked-at to making objects-for-looking. The Meta-perceptual helmets were concerned with the position of the eyes in the head, mostly exploring arrangements that we already find in the natural world. The Para-perceptual helmets will explore more complex and less natural arrangements. If we are still exploring the science of vision, it is to make these objects-for-looking as pertinant and engaging as possible.
The third series—which we are calling Exo-perceptual—are more concerned with the poetry of looking than with the science of seeing. They are a poetic complement to the previous helmets, providing opportunities to explore some extraordinary processes, as well as creating highly aesthetic art objects.
