In 1974 I received a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts for my year long Dolphin Performance Project at Marineland in Florida.
That project involved training two young female dolphins to swim sustained synchronous swimming patterns. The training process involves shaping behavior and in that sense I regard the end result as behavior sculpture.
Betty and Eva, a short documentary film on the project includes original music and has has been shown on HBO and Nickelodeon. The project was the among the first controversial NEA grants. |
