After looking deeper into traps and traditional and contemporary trapping practices two distinct strands of thinking develop: | |||
1.As humans we are now in advantage of nearly all other organisms we share our planet with, (save very dangerous germs and viruses I am not willing to work with), so it seems to easy to me to trap other species. | |||
1a. It might be interesting to trap other humans, as they are more of a match. Of course this is complicated matter as I am a human too. Further investigation is needed. | |||
1b. It might be more interesting to design a trap, that will let through all known species and will therefore be abled to trap only unknown species! | |||
supplementary: Habitats are also very important to study! Only the hunter who knows the needs and dwellings of her/his prey will be succesful in trapping. | |||
2. Trapping involves secrecy and untruth. Even worse: it employs fraudulent misrepresentation to actively trick organisms! | |||
I as an artist are not willing to employ such cultural techniques. Therefore I direct my actions against such intents and will develop techniques of possible counteractive measures. | |||
