Creatures made to Measure: Animals and Contemporary Design - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Animals have always been accompanied people whether as food, labor, or social companions. While the number of house pets and services for four-legged animals are growing every year, real animals are increasingly disappearing from view. Today, animals can be optimized almost entirely based on the ideas of people: they are created in the laboratory, bred as organ donors, and their flesh grown in petri dishes. How are common perceptions of animals changing as a result? The designers and artists in the publication go on a search for the right degree in designing such creatures. They therefore run through the possibilities of the human-animal relationship and simultaneously through design scenarios for a different future.
