# 2019 Dodo in the Room |
Developments in biotechnologies are making the fantasy of ‘de-extinction’ a near reality. Bringing extinct species back to life appears to be an environmental miracle, with its promise of captive breeding and return to the wild, but are there less-ideal outcomes that ought to be considered? Dodo in the Room explores what it means to bring a vanished species back to life through the lens of a domestic companionship with an un-extinct dodo. Blurring the line between utopia and dystopia, it prompts us to consider the repercussions of our own scientific capabilities as well as our current value systems – as they are projected into the future.
