Natural Intelligence (2024)

This video is a scrapbook of dreams of (or by) animals inhabiting a world without humans. Natural Intelligence is "intelligence created by nature, natural evolutionary mechanisms,"—as opposed to artificial intelligence. With it, "there is a dynamic movement of natural intelligence that evolves from vague, fuzzy, and unconscious states to more concrete and conscious states, and thus realizing the essence of perception" (Leonid Perlovsky and Robert Kozma (eds.), Neurodynamics of Cognition and Consciousness, 2007, p. 1). It is beautiful and deeply flawed, but it levels out in the end.
