Shuyang Li-statement

In-depth research into next-generation image sensors - event sensors. Human development of event camera technology is still at a very early stage. My task is to bring the advancement of this technology into everyday life. To analyse the potential ways to change life and cultural creation. I have used it to create a large body of photographic work with researchers from the RCA photography department. It’s unique format and images have created numerous possibilities to shake up the modern theoretical system of photography and the way human beings perceive images.

A photographic book from the future
A photographic book from the future – The "images from the future" created with this camera have been compiled into a photographic book. And named the Eyes of the Future.
A photographic book from the future
A photographic book from the future – I created the first book of my life with a "civilian camera" that was not of its time. It means many things to me. For my profession, it is an experimental report on my ideas. For the world, it is perhaps a baby trying to speak before it is even born.

The "Eye of the Future" is not only the name of the book, but also the name of the camera, which uses human eye bionic technology to output a stream of data that matches 100% of the optic nerve signal, and these "images" may in the future appear directly in our minds Instead of actually 'seeing'. It may change the way we see and record the world.
