Sputniko!, Crowbot Jenny

Crowbot Jenny, inspired by Donna Haraway’s philosophical memoir When Species Meet (2007), is a solitary girl who, despite her generation’s tendency toward communication overload, has trouble relating to her peers. In fact, Crowbot Jenny prefers to talk with animals and develops the Crowbot, an instrument that replicates a range of crow calls, to commune with her army of birds. Sputniko! talked with various crow specialists from University of Cambridge (UK), University of Utsunomiya (Japan) and University of Tokyo (Japan) who also provided her with sample crow calls - such as "Hello", "I'm in Danger", "I love you!" or "Where is my Child!?" - which she installed inside Crowbot.
