Think Tank con los Escarabajos

Forest and Frankie host this philosophical talk show in which the suburst diving beetles play the characters of; Kesha, Simone DeBeauvoir, Oscar the Grouch, Larvesta, David Hume, Pippi Longstocking, Bad Bunny and a teenager named Leonardo.

This project, produced by Tender Claws, was part interactive live-stream, part theatrical performance, part sophisticated narrative AI backend and part live drama about the daily interactions of an animal camera as written by its inhabitants: 8 Predaceous Sunburst Diving Beetles, or Thermonectus marmoratus. Native to freshwater habitats in North America, these aquatic beetles are known for their bright gold spots, voracious appetites, and ability to utilize small bubbles of air to remain submerged for extended periods. Importantly, these beetles are especially native to southern California where, to survive, they constantly seek out new sources of shallow water. They are nomads, constantly looking for refuge as safe harbors of puddles and streams become dry.
