The bio-politics surrounding the contemporary human-nonhuman animal relationship have become a complex and sensitive topic. When this relationship is analyzed from a contemporary art viewpoint - being both ethics and aesthetics branches of philosophy, it seems even more complicated to frame and create an adequate context for it. Nevertheless, the shift to a dialogic system of communication through the implementation of aesthetic research could lead us to new forms of experiencing the animal ´other´, redefining our assumption of what we understand as ´interactive´ art.
