+ Zooz

Developing a little reciprocity in the BRONX zoo.

ZOOZ is a project aimed at developing a number of interactive exhibits that productively engage humans and nonhumans in the ZOO. Akin to developing a collection of animal and human enrichment devices, this project is based on designs comprehensible from both human and non-human points of view. They thus enable and encourage cross-special reciprocal interaction. More…

+ Bat Hunting

OOZ proposes two distinct interfaces to the bats, to facilitate interaction in their two distinct periods of activity. At night the bats rely on echolocation; however during the day while roosting they use often quite audible communication and are highly social mammals.

The strongest animal in the world, the Rhinoceros Beetle can lift 30 times its weight. So, in addition to scaling us to the beetle’s proportions, the wrestling device evens the playing field, by granting us similar manipulative capacities. It is an architecture of reciprocity, an interface for human and animal interaction on a equal basis. More…
