Based on literature on the psychology of perception, I decided on a diverse selection of 10 animals. These animals were chosen on the basis of their visual or auditory perception differing greatly from humans and for which an artistic interpretation was imaginable. It was important to create a diverse register of birds, mammals, reptiles, herbivores, rodents and fish to make clear from the beginning that the film would not be about creating a biologically/anatomically correct representation of the perception of each of these animals. Instead, the animals serve within the film narrative as model organisms, which together represent different ~~possibe~~ perceptions (referred to as 'animal intelligence' within this project) ~~than the human one~~ and thus move 'artificial intelligence' into a different light.

The research was further characterised by numerous conversations with scientists in different fields of expertise and a visit to the Center for the Advanced Study of Collective Behaviour, a department of the Max Planck Institute for Behavioural Biology.
