Mapping Virtual Emotions: 3D-surface capturing of animated facial expressions in animals and humans

基于我目前对意识和做梦大脑的研究，我试图开发一种新的艺术品来揭示人类情感的特征（即笑，哭等）。特别是数码扫描设备和特效动画软件的使用。该提案是使用3D高分辨率激光扫描仪捕捉动物的面孔（与自然历史博物馆合作），并使用这些面孔的数据，制作动画，然后将它们与人类情感面部表情联合收割机结合起来。在这样做的过程中，希望通过批判性实验来可视化进化选择和适应了什么。

Building upon my current research into consciousness and the dreaming brain, I seek to develop a new artwork to reveal aspects of characteristic human emotions (i.e. laughing, crying etc.) with the use of new technology in particular digital scanning devices and special effects animation software. The proposal is to use a 3D high-resolution laser scanner to capture animal faces (in association with the Natural History Museum) and using the data of these faces, animate and then combine them with human emotional facial expressions. In doing so it is hoped to visualise through critical experimentation what evolution has selected and accommodated.
