OOZ

OOZ is a
series of experiments with ‘animal models’ that allow us to test our
assumptions about social organization, animal cognition, and human-animal
interaction. By means of human/animal interfaces the project tries to promote
human relations with non-domesticated animals, as well as enables an
observation of our own understanding of these animals in order to be able to
re-imagine these relationships. OOZ is also an experiment that questions the
logic of progress and technological development. Through an interactive sound
installation in the Ljubljana ZOO, Natalie Jeremijenko will demonstrate
cooperation between humans and animals, encouraging humans to perceive of
themselves as half-human or non-human in order to develop a more realistic
understanding of the environment.

Organized by: City of Women
In collaboration with: ZOO Ljubljana
With the support of: the Embassy of the United States of America, Ljubljana
