Hubert Duprat

Artist Hubert Duprat's collaboration with CADDIS (tune in at 2:39 to hear about this project in particular). Working off the knowledge that caddis construct protection out of their surroundings, he placed the larvae in a laboratory where they would construct his piece out of the gold he provided. There were no other materials surrounding them, so they had no choice but to work with what he made available to them...a forced collaboration of sorts.
