designer's own words:
The invisible zoo refers to the urban wildlife that is all around is, in cities, streets and gardens, but is unseen, unknown and unappreciated.
The idea is based on the currently widespread use of RFID taggin technology and wireless hand held devices such as smartphones. Tagging animals in your environment allows fellow urban wildlife enthusiasts to be informed about the hidden fauna around them, turning the whole city in to a Zoo.

new relationship by using CITY ZOO, with network-accessing computing technologies.
