Dear Charlie,
Today, I saw this on facebook. It is captivating. Fascinating. Eyes are really stange things, aren't they?
" In higher organisms the eye is a complex optical system which collects light from the surrounding environment, regulates its intensity through a diaphragm, focuses it through an adjustable assembly of lenses to form an image, converts this image into a set of electrical signals, and transmits these signals to the brain through complex neural pathways that connect the eye via the optic nerve to the visual cortex and other areas of the brain. "
Fortunately, this doesn't sum up all capacities eyes have. It is so complex that we can't even say we really know it, and understand it. When we look into people eyes, we get lost. Lost in a sort of minus galaxy, and we are attracted by this mysterious and unknown system, and thanks to that video, made by Benjamin Lebeau we have access to wonderful images of it on a great song by Dan Deacon ( "Alright Spiral Snip” ), mixing with some kaleidoscopic effects.
Our body is definitely an art.
Enjoy !
