Interspecies communication between humans and bats
The Eye of the Other delves into non-verbal communication between humans and bats, through the study, translation and manipulation of the bat’s echolocation. This multimodal immersive artwork derives from the desire to transcend the limitations of our living experience by exploring the deeper meaning of mutualistic relationships and interspecies communication between humans and animals, juxtaposing the animals’ gaze and the human gaze. It reflects on how digital live/streaming technologies and machine intelligence can be used to alter human senses and enhance new formats of communication and authorship, empathy and co-existence. The artwork lets the human and the non-human, the local and the remote collide and produces new cultural spaces, formed by the meta-domain of a new language. This topological turn foreshadows a possible future in which the clear borders of humans and others are blurred and a multi-species society might be formed. The gaze should not be understood as something one has or applies, but rather as a depiction of the relationship into which one enters.

Wandering in old houses. When I was a boy I had a little short-wave radio. I would get into bed and scan the world. Listened to strange languages, exotic music until I fell asleep.
"Un enfant vous embrasse
Parce qu'on le rend heureux
Tous nos chagrins s'effacent
On a les larmes aux yeux
Mon Dieu, mon Dieu, mon Dieu...
Dans votre immense sagesse
Immense ferveur
Faites donc pleuvoir sans cesse
Au fond de nos cœurs
Des torrents de tendresse
Pour que règne l'amour
Règne l'amour
Jusqu'à la fin des jours"

The following news item appeared in the December 10, 1925, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:
TREMONT TO GET NEW R. R. DEPOT
Electric line improvements of the Chicago, South Shore and South Bend Railway company, recently taken over by the Insull interests, have undergone a marvelous transformation. Twenty-nine steel passenger gars now are being built by the Pullman company, two of which will be dining cars, two will be parlor cars and 25 will serve as passenger coaches. They will be ready for service by July 1, next year, it was announced.
A force of 900 men is now engaged in making improvements on the line between Kensington. Ill., where the South Shore connects with the Illinois Central railroad, and South Bend. Ten miles of old 70 and 80 pound rails between Kensington and Hammond have been replaced with 100 pound rails and the entire track from South Bend to Kensington has been resurfaced with more than 300 cars of cinder ballast. Approximately 11,000 pairs of angle bars have been used. All block and other signals have been rebuilt along with new telephone lines for complete and satisfactory communication. The entire right of way has been cleared of undergrowth, improving the range of vision at highway crossings.
Portions of the rehabilitation work now under way include rock ballasting of the section from Kensington to Hammond, 60 per cent completed; one mile of new steel trusses for support of trolley wires to be installed between Kensington and Hammond; fencing gage at work west of Gary, erecting 54-inche fence with barbed wire strand at top on edges of right of way; steam shovel at work west of New Carlisle widening cuts and grading.
Preliminary arrangements are being made for starting work on the Dunes highway bridge head and plans are under way for the bridge across the Industrial highway. At Tremont the railroad has purchased a building 40 feet square, which formerly stood at the east of the highway crossing at that point. It is to be permanently located as a station on a spot directly north of the old station site. It will be remodeled both on the interior and exterior. A long siding will also be constructed at Tremont to care for special parties and other extra trains carrying visitors to the dunes region. Forty new shelters to be used at local stops are being built.
