Experiment #1.2.1: Hackteria's Empathetic Taxidermia Lab
Scheduled from proposal: Hackteria's Empathetic Taxidermia Lab with 70Ŧ

Hackteria's Empathetic Taxidermia Lab is a durational, collaborative and explorative experimentation on taxidermy with Marc Dusseiller aka dusjagr, a co-founder of the Hackteria network. The aim of the lab is to investigate artistic practices and traditional craft with living/non-living media to reconnect us with our ecosystem and ourselves.

Taxidermy is the art of preparing, stuffing, and mounting the skins of animals for display, study or just simply preservation. It has been around for centuries in various implementations from hobbyists' anthropomorhic representations of imagined human happiness, to contemporary artists.

During this workshop we will look into more depth of the tools and materials used for taxidermia of various different species (and feces) with the goal to enable more people to get started within this interesting and sometimes empathetically conflicting topic. We will investigate different available instructions in print and online media and collaboratively develop a contemporary kit/instruction to be shared and communicated.
