more than everything

Humans and other animals that have their eyes attached towards the front of their bodies see the world with binocular vision. Stereoscopic seeing enables a precise perception of depth. This film challenges this perceptual apparatus that interacts with the brain to generate a coherent image of the surroundings. Here different images for the left and the right eye were generated that are blended to a third image in the spectators brain. We have a tendency to prefer visual input from one eye to the other, a phenomenon called 'Ocular dominance'. Approximately two-thirds of the population is right-eye dominant and one-third left-eye dominant (some don´t have a preference). If the perceptual apparatus has to deal with different inputs for each eye, instead of superimposing the image in the brain it alternates between the two images, something called 'Binocular rivalry'. In this cinematic endeavour, the characterised physical phenomena above are incorporated in its artistic formulas. According to the visual preference of the viewer for one eye or the other, the film will be perceived quite differently.
