Unusual Critters: A Remarkable Journey Through Life as We Think It Is is a multimedia installation built around a wildlife mockumentary. Taking the city as its main setting, the film depicts the behaviour and habitat of two electronic species of critters and opens reflections on the extreme adaptation many nonhuman beings have undergone to thrive in a highly anthropocentric environment. The hybridity of those critters (animal-like/electronic) evokes René Descartes' 17th century animal/machineduality which equated animals to pure mechanisms. This, in turn, justified their systematic abuse and exploitation, and is an idea that still influences our interspecies relationships today. The critters' presence in the mockumentary however is far from supporting this theory : the film presents the critters with a bright sense of aliveness and agency, while challenging (Western) humankind's social and environmental habits. What if this animal-machine duality was an opportunity to consider machines as worthy of moral consideration instead of using them as reasons for nonhuman abuse? Furthermore, the video work explores current wildlife documentary codes (anthropomorphizing, emotive soundtracks, etc.) and humorously plays with them in order to both question them and enhance the messages shared within the work.
