Animals have always been accompanied people-whether as food labor or social companions. While
the number of house pets and services for four-legged animals are growing every year real
animals are increasingly disappearing from view. Today animals can be optimized almost
entirely based on the ideas of people: they are created in the laboratory bred as organ donors
and their flesh grown in petri dishes. How are common perceptions of animals changing as a
result? The designers and artists in the publication go on a search for the right degree in
designing such creatures. They therefore run through the possibilities of the human-animal
relationship and simultaneously through design scenarios for a different future.Artists: Martin
