Animal Locomotion

I created this collection of GIFs as part of ongoing research for a Virtual Reality project based on the work of Edouard Muybridge, the 19th-century photographer famous for his movement studies of horses and humans. He is often considered the unofficial inventor of the GIF.
These A.I. interpretations offers an alternative history of the human body in motion, and questions the notion of physical movement in relation to speed. When we create with the help of A.I., we sometimes have the impression of communicating with an extraterrestrial life form and opening a portal to a parallel universe.
