Darwin’s Sexual Selection and Fab-u-la
I’m auditing Elizabeth Grosz’s class titled “Feminism and the Animal” . The class is currently my main source of inspiration for Fab-u-la and I definitely have a monster crush on Grosz.
I’ve been designing the species of excess for a long while and through the class the missing pieces of Fab-u-la are all coming together.It seems that everything that matters could be explained by sexual selection. Sexual selection is an operative mode which is distinct from natural selection. It’s not about fitness , it’s about attractiveness. It’s not about survival , it’s about excess. It simply doesn’t have to do anything with reproduction.
I hereby present you two images of the male supermammal (the main character in Fab-u-la, that was commissioned as a sensual bio-toy for Paris Hilton’s 30th b-day orgy).
I’m hoping to extend my residency here @ Duke as to explore these species and biological underpinnings of their behavior since they’re inspired by human morphology to an utterly uncanny degree.
