First one or two explorer ants find it

Information travels

Many individual lives are put to the task

This is an incident for the ants.

An example of an incident I wanted to create for humans is to find an area with some vegetation and Praying Mantises and create possibilities that attracts even more mantises. Once this space has been created, it can be opened to humans. And with the help of some instructions and information, this incident can become meaningful.


Sometimes Incidents become Encounters.



Incidents as Umwelts
Incidents as Encounters


Let us say that an act of viewing or witnessing a non human activity is an incident. For an incident to be considered an encounter, there has to be a reciprocal reaction. A response from the other being. An encounter is not passive. A dense moment is created when one encounters another being. I am interested in this dense moment.
