background story ideas

1. Lonely Scientist vs. 1 hybrid.
-Father and son relationship
-Scientist creates one hybrid and watches him grow from the embryonic stage, to an infant, then to adulthood.
-Conflict: He tries to teach him to become a real human being. (pinocchio) But the hybrid still have animal behaviors. Cannot control himself, the hybrid keeps hurting the scientist physically, although unintentionally.
-??Ending: hybrid kills scientist and runs away.
-Both of them cannot be accepted by society.


2.Human is AlWAYS SUPERIOR
-A whole team of scientists.
-To fullfill man's pride and egotism.
-Created for pure lab research purposes.
-Hybrids cannot be taller than 4 feet.
-Hybrids will be terminated when showing animal behavoir.
-Hybrids do not have freedom.
-??Ending, definitely not good.


3. Create an entire hybrid society.
-Different breeds of hybrid are freed into the nature on an remote island.
-Each still maintain their unique living style
-They can reproduce themselves, forming different nations. (some lives underwater, on cliffs, in swamps)
-Different hybrids can visit other hybrids. (passport required)
-Human scientists are the central government. They do not live among the hybrids.
-Guardian/chilren relationship
-?Test for a future scenerio: solves the problem of over population.
-?Mirror of current race issues.
-Issues: Cannibalism-are carnivore allow to eat other hybrids?


4. One big happy family
-Scientists have successfully created hybrids and accepted by society.
-They can live among humans. (MIB)
-They can have human jobs.
-Hybrid's rights.
-Social issues: are they humans?
-Idea: people can donate embroys or cells to create these hybrids. In return, they can adopt these hybrids as their children. => Humans giving birth to hybrids?
-Cannibalism: Is a human/sheep hybrid allowed to eat lamb?

I am still keeping the installation idea in mind. It will convey a section in the background story.
