“Love Ducking” looks at how technology can help reduce the gap between species. In an attempt to try and seduce a female Mallard duck, I try to export myself via technology into the ducks world. Four tools are proposed to interact with the ducks in various ways. One allows to virtually swim with them, the second one will give you the possibility to hang out with a duck to its actual size using projections, the third setup will give you the chance to share a romantic diner with a duck and finally you will have the opportunity to artificially inseminate a female duck using a robotized male mallard. The aim here is to virtually live like a Mallard duck in order to find friendship and who knows, maybe love.
