It is thus, in this domiciliation, in this house arrest, that archives take place. The dwelling, this place where they dwell permanently, marks this institutional passage from the private to the public, which does not always mean from the secret to the nonsecret. (Archive Fever)
Animals bumping into humans (or human interventions) - do they not have as much agency (except for in Crittercam-esque cases) as we do in a given encounter? Are they the experts of the landscape while we are the amateurs?

Non-humans can choose whether or not to have the encounter - running away vs/ staying (not as applicable to plants though...)

non-human species may "bump into" potential artworks - does implementing art into the park introduce a degree of amateurism into an environment that a species may have previously been an "expert" in?
