I started to draw the Zooropa map. I started to look for texts related to the project,
i.e. Kafka and Benjamin. I started to do an abstract about the introduction to

Finally: perhaps becoming an animal is not about knowing what an animal is and
what it means that we become animals but more about „forgetting“ what an animal
„is“. An animal of the future would be an animal about whose animality (in relation
to „our“ humaneness) we can’t be sure anymore. This also implies that we are not
sure about humanity anymore ( -> das Mensch).
