More-than-human creative practice: Approaches to making interactive and digital art as enrichment for wild flying foxes and domesticated dogs

Abstract

This thesis explores animal enrichment as a potential basis for interactive and digital art made for use between humans and other species, focusing on domestic dogs and wild flying foxes in rehabilitation care. Its methods are practice-based and incorporate creative practice and animal-computer interaction design. Its findings look towards the future of interactive art and aesthetics as ethical actions of care and enrichment towards other species.
