About this app

Intertwining 3D animation, augmented reality, and the creative potential of artificial intelligence, "My Lizard Brain" is a video artwork that draws inspiration from the unpublished novel "Deepworld Vesta".
Through an introspective approach, this piece explores the paradoxical nature of our existence amid the looming perils of the climate crisis, wars, pandemics, and social collapse.

With a touch of humor interwoven throughout, the video invites viewers to contemplate the striking resemblance between our current predicament and the obliviousness of the mighty dinosaurs that once roamed the Earth. Despite our intelligence and societal progress, we often find ourselves governed by the most primitive aspects of our brains—the lingering remnants of our reptilian ancestry—choosing to turn a blind eye to the impending dangers that surround us.

In a reflective turn, "My Lizard Brain" embraces irony, prompting viewers to ponder the impact of this collective sense of dread and realization of crisis on an individual level. The video delves into the depths of sorrow, pain, and the resilience of the human spirit, exploring how we grapple with the complexities of our existence.

By infusing a playful undertone to a blend of technology, literature, and artistic expression, "My Lizard Brain" invites viewers to examine the depths of their own consciousness and the interplay between our primitive instincts and our collective responsibility to confront global threats with a renewed sense of resilience.

Additionally, viewers are provided with an opportunity to further explore the theme by downloading an accompanying augmented reality application. This interactive extension adds an element engagement and allows viewers to experience dinosaurs in their own environment.

"My Lizard Brain" offers a poignant cntribution to the ongoing dialogue on humanity's precarious future.
