PREPARE Set a goal: what is the medium, who/where are the collaborators, how will the project be exhibited? Ask for permissions from humans (pet owners, zoo employees). Make contact with the non-human collaborators, investigate their possible interest in collaborating. What are the creative expressions of the collaborator? Study and asses senses of collaborator, how do they see, smell, hear etc? Remove any preconceptions about the species you are working with. Devise precise but flexible methods for process and documentation (and data collection). WORK Establish trust between you and the collaborator(s). Put yourself in the collaborators position. Be open to change. Work from questions, don't expect answers. Be patient. Show affinity and respect towards your collaborator. Be receptive to the collaborator and sensitive to their sensing thresholds. EXHIBIT Share the experience, result, documentation etc with an audience.
