Animals In Modern Life
A great old black and white documentary about how animals are beneficial to humans. It was made in 1937, and shows various uses that animals have in the "modern world". Also contains some pretty great cave-man dramatizations. This Video does not draw the line, however, between benefiting from the actions of live animals, and benefiting from animal products. All in all, an interesting time capsule.

bbc guide to origin of the species
This is more information about the domestication of animals and the resulting variance achieved in captivity. It is interesting to think about the idea of pure breeds of dogs, and humans desire for them. While certain dogs were bred for specific functions, people tend to not use them in that way. Dobermans were created only a hundredtwenty years ago from rottweilers in germany. I don't know why. So as we go forward working with pets, not so much tamed wild animals, consider where that pet came from and why it came to be.

This is a comprehensive guide to trap making and the act of trapping all kinds of animals. I put this link in here because, at some point in the history of the world, humans exerted their ability to build on an unsuspecting animal. How did the first domesticated dog/cat/bird come into posession, and for what reasons? Our (present day humans) interaction with animals, specifically pets, has transmogrified into something, and I wonder from what and where did it originate.

I knew before that dog have extremely good sense of smell but I did not know that they are capable of using their super-sensitive snouts to detect human illnesses from epileptic fits to cancers. The other interesting point is that “Dogs really can smell fear. If a dog goes into a room where a frightened dog has just left, he will appear anxious and agitated.”

Harry F. Harlow, Monkey Love Experiments
Related animals: Human, Monkey
Harlow's experiment required wire cutters, cardboard cones, hot coils, steel nails, and soft cloth. He used the wire cutters to fashion a wire mother, its torso patterned with small squares, a single inflexible breast "on the ventral front." Affixed to this breast, a steel nipple pierced with a tiny hole through which the monkey milk could flow. Then Harlow fashioned a soft surrogate, a cardboard cone bunted in a terry cloth towel. He wrote, "The result was a mother, soft, warm, and tender, a mother with infinite patience, a mother available 24 hours a day . . .. It is our opinion that we engineered a very superior monkey mother, although this position is not held universally by monkey fathers." First Harlow took a group of newborn rhesus macaque babies and put them in a cage with the two surrogate mothers: the wire mother full of food, the cloth mother with an empty breast and a sweet smile. After the initial trauma, something amazing started to happen. Within days, the baby macaques transferred their affections from the real mother, who was no longer available, to the cloth surrogate. The cloth mother, however, had no milk, so when the youngsters were hungry, they would dart over to the chicken-wire mother and then run back to the safety of the soft towel. Harlow graphed the mean amount of time the monkeys spent nursing versus cuddling. The disparity in favor of cuddling, he wrote, was "so great as to suggest that the primary function of nursing . . . is that of insuring frequent and intimate body contact of the infant with the mother." Harlow was establishing that love grows from touch, not taste, which is why, when the mother's milk dries up, the child continues to love her. The child then takes this love, the memory of it, and recasts it outward, so that every interaction is a replay and a revision of this early touch. "Certainly," writes Harlow, "man cannot live by milk alone." taken from: http://www.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/articles/2004/03/21/monkey_love/

How do black bears respond to mirrors?
Related animal: Bear
Self awareness is a measure of intelligence. A captive chimpanzee reportedly sat in front of a mirror in a cage and eventually touched a dot on its forehead, showing that it realized the reflection was of itself. Unlike caged chimps, wild bears see their reflections whenever they drink from quiet ponds; so mirrors don’t get much notice. In the top photo, a bear briefly noted his reflection as he passed by. In the bottom photo, the two bears paused to give the mirror a brief sniff. One looked behind it. All three looked at their reflections calmly with none of the tension in their eyes, ears, muzzles, and lips one sees in meetings between strange bears. The clear, vertical reflections apparently differed enough from reflections in water to be noticed. In this way, bears differ from some birds that attack their reflections. These were savvy wild bears. It would be interesting to see reactions of captive bears that have never seen their reflections in water and are not busy with full wild lives. Would they be faster or slower than chimpanzees to realize that the reflections are of themselves?

Review by Brose (04/16/06 19:03:05):
An article essentially about devices produced to communicate with dogs and cows. Bowlingal, made by a japanese manufactorer, is commercially sold to interpret what a dogs bark means. The device records the bark and then translates it into text for a human to read. Researchers in Germany have developed a similar device that records a cow's moos that is geared more towards a farmer. With its accuracy being 90%, it is said to be most effective to determine the prime mating time for the cow, which could benefit a farmer significantly when breeding cows. The article also briefly explains Jim Nollman's process when he communicates with orca whales.
Review by britt (04/11/06 15:39:22):
Some of the challenges addressed in this book about doing interspecies collaboration...
The animal might not respond to your approach to collaborating.
The animal could respond in a negative way to your approach.
You might not like the way the animal approaches you.
You might respond in a negative way to the animal's approach.
Trouble-shooting...
Be aware of the environment in which you are moving. If this is not your stomping grounds, then you need to be sensitive to the habits of the ones who live there.
If the animal responds negatively to you, withdraw your efforts and reconsider your approach. Are you trying to incite a specific reaction from this animal or are you allowing them to act creatively and with freedom. If you approach the animal with an agenda, most likely you will come away unsatisfied with the results.
If the animal approaches you in a way that is not satisfying to the piece in which you are aspiring to collaborate on, allow this to be an opportunity to learn and to be inspired. What can you take away from this experience? What reaction were they trying to incite from you? How can you use this in your future collaboration?
In your collaborative process, you could find the manner of the animal negative or intimidating towards you. This is not a beneficial situation and the best thing to do would be to withdraw. If you try to collaborate with anyone who has negative intentions, this will adversely affect your piece (unless, however, your art is based on an underlying theme of tension and struggle, then by all means, have a go at it).

Review by Brose (04/16/06 19:03:05):
An article essentially about devices produced to communicate with dogs and cows. Bowlingal, made by a japanese manufactorer, is commercially sold to interpret what a dogs bark means. The device records the bark and then translates it into text for a human to read. Researchers in Germany have developed a similar device that records a cow's moos that is geared more towards a farmer. With its accuracy being 90%, it is said to be most effective to determine the prime mating time for the cow, which could benefit a farmer significantly when breeding cows. The article also briefly explains Jim Nollman's process when he communicates with orca whales.
Review by britt (04/11/06 15:39:22):
Some of the challenges addressed in this book about doing interspecies collaboration...
The animal might not respond to your approach to collaborating.
The animal could respond in a negative way to your approach.
You might not like the way the animal approaches you.
You might respond in a negative way to the animal's approach.
Trouble-shooting...
Be aware of the environment in which you are moving. If this is not your stomping grounds, then you need to be sensitive to the habits of the ones who live there.
If the animal responds negatively to you, withdraw your efforts and reconsider your approach. Are you trying to incite a specific reaction from this animal or are you allowing them to act creatively and with freedom. If you approach the animal with an agenda, most likely you will come away unsatisfied with the results.
If the animal approaches you in a way that is not satisfying to the piece in which you are aspiring to collaborate on, allow this to be an opportunity to learn and to be inspired. What can you take away from this experience? What reaction were they trying to incite from you? How can you use this in your future collaboration?
In your collaborative process, you could find the manner of the animal negative or intimidating towards you. This is not a beneficial situation and the best thing to do would be to withdraw. If you try to collaborate with anyone who has negative intentions, this will adversely affect your piece (unless, however, your art is based on an underlying theme of tension and struggle, then by all means, have a go at it).

Island Fox Recovery Program
Related animal: Fox
"Concerned that the island fox declines would lead to the extinction of the 3 island fox subspecies in the park, the National Park Service convened an Island Fox Recovery Team in April of 1999. This panel of experts identified golden eagle predation, parasites, and disease as serious threats to the fox's existence. They recommended the park take measures to help bring the fox back from the brink of extinction."

This website on Koko the Gorilla was interesting, yet seemed over-constructed. It left the viewer with questions as to the authenticity of the emotion displayed by Koko. It also made you wonder how many hours of footage was shot that wasn't used, and how often she paints things and gives them irrelevant titles, with less conventional use of color. I just think, if she's over 30, she must have made more than 6 or 7 pieces of artwork. I would like to see more of them, to give me a better understanding of HER understanding of art.

Sociable Sounds
In the wild, bears make a plaintive sound when they want to make friendly contact, take food from a bear they know, or nurse. Mothers grunt when they approach their cubs, are concerned about them, or want them to come down from trees. When a mother returns from foraging, she looks up the tree where she left her cubs and grunts. Although cubs immediately come down in popular literature, cubs in nature have minds of their own about that. When the cubs do not come down, the mother may become agitated and give double and triple grunts, perhaps feeling a need to nurse or move to a new spot. If the cubs do not come down, she may climb up and carry one down. Tongue-clicking usually is done when a bear approaches another bear to make friendly contact, which may include play or mating. In that context, bears also make pleasant grunts that are higher in pitch than grunts to cubs. Ted, the adult male black bear in the Bear Center pen, makes these pleasant grunts and tongue-clicks to people. If a person lets him, he then shows his friendly intentions by licking the person's mouth and gently mouthing the person's face or head. Cubs make a motor-like hum when they nurse and occasionally when they are just comfortable and secure. Older bears sometimes make this sound in a deeper voice while eating a big piece of food (like a piece of warm fat) that they can suck or lick. Researchers observed a 3-year-old female make this sound while she was in REM sleep. There is much to be learned about the meanings and variety of bear vocalizations.

He removes the spider from its home and source of food for his own personal gain! He also takes the spider web, forcing the spider to start a new web. And then he frames it as if it were his creation. This is what makes me wonder if a project like mine would be similar (stealing the spider's design, & not creative enough to call "art"); it makes me have doubts about my project idea.
