I think it might have a tail, because tails are actually really important. For balance? For also user interface. A dog's tail is very interesting, and that's very deeply rooted also in our psychology. We have a reaction when you see a dog with a tail wagging.

But if you notice, none of these dogs that are out there yet have tails. So we're building one.

No, I'd love to tell you. So she's a filmmaker and has been involved in technology for a long time, Tiffany Schlain. And she and I have collaborated a little bit, but this is our first big collaboration. And we've been having so much fun. We got invited as part of the Getty is doing this citywide exhibition on art and science. It's going on for a whole year.

And so they have each of these different institutions do exhibits. And so the Skirball invited Tiffany and I to do one for them related to art and science. We've been working on it for like three years, and we came up with this idea of talking about history more broadly, but also using trees and the science of tree ring dating. You know how you count the rings?

Right. And they're very Western patriarchal. And so she had started actually over the pandemic doing a feminist tree ring. Okay. And then a couple of other ones, she's been developing these sculptures and they're salvaged wood. So we don't cut down trees to do this, but there's a lot of these big redwoods and other forms out there.

So for this show, we wanted to do something around that started with the tree of knowledge. Uh-huh. This is very cool. We found a tree stump that was gigantic, almost as big as this room. It's 7,000 pounds.
