Analogue and digital projections are moving all over the walls of the exhibition space. Those slow movements plus the sound create an ambient atmosphere within it. A terrarium filled with soil is standing on top of a pedestal, which is situated in the centre. A colony of earthworms lives within that soil. An IR camera is shooting the movements of the worms, which are shown on a monitor inserted in the pedestal. Simultaneously a computer program tracks the movements of the worms. According to these patterns it modifies the projections and the sound depending on it.\\ | Analogue and digital projections are moving all over the walls of the exhibition space.
