The tick does indeed occupy the zone of indistinction where we find ʻneither an animal life nor a human life, but only a life that is separated and excluded from itselfʼ (TO 38). But the tick occupies this zone of bare life in the modality of non-living being. In fact, this utterly paradoxical being escapes any of the categories of stone, animal or man designated by Heidegger. In the becoming-animal or becoming-plant of the ʻmaterial objectsʼ engineered by nanotechnology, and in the becoming-stone of the animal exemplified by the isolation of the tick in the Rostock Laboratory, Heideggerʼs triple thesis undergoes an implosion on the outside of the binary distinction between man and animal that Agamben deconstructs.

We were determined to defy natureʼ, commented Ricardo Scofidio. Blur ʻwas like a magic trick. ʼ32 The hidden support of the project was a steel tensegrity structure anchored into the lake bed, which was armed with 31,500 nozzles through which water, pumped from the lake and filtered, was fed at high pressure and vaporized. During the design process, some large-scale fog tests were carried out, and considerable sophistication and ingenuity had to be deployed in fine-tuning the technique to produce the desired effect (irregular nozzle concentrations, for example).
