The TRT series were produced by Paper Tiger Television during the 1980s and digitalized thirty years later. This non-profit video collective of artists, activists and scholars has used television as a medium since 1981, combining art, science, politics, performance and live television. I translated episode number 126 and imbedded it as an archive material it into the different contexts.

‘How does the “cultured” gorilla, i.e. Koko, come to represent universal man? Author and cultural critic Donna Haraway untangles the web of meanings, tracing what gets to count as nature, for whom and when, and how much it costs to produce nature at a particular moment in history for a particular group of people. A feminist journey through the anthropological junglescape. Haraway is a leading thinker about people’s love and hate relationship with machines. Her ideas have sparked an explosion of debate in areas as diverse as primatology, philosophy and development biology.’
