Cryptozoology

Cryptozoology, the study of hidden, or unknown animals is most famous for its alleged encounters with the Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, and UFOs. Mythological and supernatural beasts might also fall under/into the cryptozoo, but it is these "missing links" that seem the most elusive and prized.

These cryptids are sustained phenomenally by an architecture of participation and belief, a network of social interactions that continue to mutate and nourish the cryptozoological set. Making sense out these marvelous creatures, as lurking metaphors for sites ( or sights) of counter-hegemonic media production, I will adopt the role of "cryptozoologist", situating myself betwixt cartography and conspiracy, between animal and animation
