Why should we commune with the environment surrounding us? It’s because communing is the most ecological strategy for human beings, who coexist with other humans and even other creatures, whereas there is no way of knowing the experience of other creatures. Qualia’ are none other than relational properties in a complex system of human beings in nature. This article explores how to perceive others’ perception through a BirdMan experiment. The BirdMan, a halfman and half-beast creature, born in a subconsciousness, attempts to share its mind with others. As a venue for new experiences transforming and recreating human
perceiving experiences, the work becomes a meta-methodology exploring the meaning of other beings’ experience. While encountering in between different perceptions with hybrid perspectives, ecological narratives and empathy can be realised. It suggests to us that the way we perceive and understand this world is not the only way.
