Animal Border Control
All lines have a certain materiality though we tend to forget or dismiss this simple fact, as if physical borders could be reduced to mathmatical abstraction. But what if a national border is itself an active matter? What if all national borders were composed of animals? The border would be constantly moving and migrating according to the season and other reasons. And instead of border police, the government will send people with bird calls and dog whistles to control the living border. Border control will become musical. Animal Border will also contribute to solving environmental issues, since border control must now deal with the state of natural resources that accommodate and invite animals to one place and not the other. If a country desired territorial expansion (which countries often do) the best strategy would be to make the environment of its neighboring country as attractive as possible so that animals would be allured to move in that direction. One could also smuggle a piece of the border into another country. — Ai Chinen
