the crossing of species
DESCRIPTION
This is a catalogue of different parts of animals and objects that I found in my surroundings. This collection can be used to create a new order of species. By using the natural lifecycle of animals in everyday objects an evolutionairy upcycle can replace liniar production systems. By breeding animal-like objects or object-like animals, we can construct practical class of species.TRANSCRIPT

This is a catalogue of different parts of animals and objects that I found in my surroundings. This collection can be used to create a new order of species. By using the natural lifecycle of animals in everyday objects an evolutionairy upcycle can replace liniar production systems. By breeding animal-like objects or object-like animals, we can construct practical class of species.
