Dreams & Nightmares of Empire : Biological Specimens from The Pinky Show collection

Added on May 30, 2013 by Drittens Cat.

Materials: crocheted octopus (wool), specimen jar, formaldehyde

Type: poster, 20x30 inches

Summary: We like illustrated thought-experiments. For example, here we have a baby octopus dead in a specimen jar, collected off the south shore of Hawaii in 1893 before it had a chance to grow up to be an adult imperial animal. What kind of world would we be living in now had the U.S. not chosen Empire as its future, way back when at the end of the 19th century? What kind of different thoughts and actions would have been necessary to avert the catastrophes brought on by the imperial clashes of the 20th century? What preventable future disasters are we facing right now? And what should we be doing about them?
