Evolution: A Walk [With Herbivores] is a site and seasonal audio tour, field guide for 2 or more people at a time. Participants wear a scented Herbivore suit on a specific site trail that involves sight, touch, scent, taste, sound and meditation to explore the inter-species relationships and social commentary within and around a vegetated site. This version was commissioned for Wired Open Day May 2014 on box gum grassy woodlands Muttama New South Wales.

A previous version was created for Ternate Park and Rose Garden, Stanford University, USA at performance studies 19 2013.

Created by Cat Jones with sound composition by Melissa Hunt. 

The project was supported by the Australia Council as part of Cat Jones' Creative Australia Fellowship.

Special thanks to chaperones Melissa Hunt, Cate Hull and Kate Brown also for leaf design motifs.
