I'm an exchange student from the fine art department at the Bergen National Academy of the Arts (http://khib.no/english/). Currently I'm working on a project where I use a combination of raw materials to create prototype models which I intend to use in conjunction with electric motors to perform movement.
My intention with this is to explore the idea of evolution as a means of adapting to ones natural habitat. In particular I'm looking at the defensive mechanisms performed by animals when threatened by predators as a means of deception. Behaviours which create the illusion of things such as an increase in size, change in colour or taking on the appearance of another more dangerous animal.
With this I aim to explore the extent to which similar capabilities could be transformed onto mankind.
