This semester I aim to investigate how much we can get into the sensual word of an animal as tiny as a gravel stone.

working title:

BUG BOX

1) INTRODUCTION (TOPIC + CONCERNS)

We often wonder how it would be like to be very small (-like a mouse-) or very huge (-like a whale-). How would it feel like? What other ways of perception would reveal then?

At least when it comes to mammals our urge to understand the perception of these common fellows is present. It’s there, because we are also mammals, and we can somehow connect.Instead, when it comes to insects, or e.g. bugs we sometimes may forget to think of them as living beeings having senses and some kind of perception: sensing, living, or even FEELING beeings. But how might a bug feel? Do bugs know fear? Are they scared when a cyclist crosses their trail of path?

2) IDEA (PROPOSITION + INTENTION)

My project aims to convey a bugs perception and therefore a box, two screens and a live-action camera (maybe a webcam) will be used.

Through the viewpoint and the postition the visitor needs to take to approach the look into the box, he/she is urged to feel the perspective of a bug – at least to these extend as we, as human beeing, can do.
