What?

BuyTalon uses climate change as a paradoxical marketing tool, transforming “natural phenomena” into “gene-drive resources.” The project addresses illegal hunting, climate change, and environmental destruction driven by capitalism. By likening chocolate talons to genetically modified raptors and selling them as such, it critiques capitalism's exploitative nature and envisions a dystopian future where these talons become currency.

The project also features hologram projections of fragile bird installations, and a virtual speculation-market website, mirror acrylic craf, thighlighting the impact of human activities on raptor migration and survival. BuyTalon urges reflection on the consequences of unchecked capitalism, colonialism, patriarchy, and environmental neglect.
