"Cobwebs" by Cyriak
Arachnophobes look away! Cyriak fills our screens (and worst nightmares) with an endless barrage of animated spiders crafted from circuit boards, human heads, and other stuff. Get the Raid!

Video: ANTS in my scanner
Five years ago François Vautier “installed” an ant colony inside a scanner and scanned them each week. The resulting time lapse is perfect for the opening titles — scored by Nine Inch Nails obviously — of the next David Fincher movie.
Five years ago, I installed an ant colony inside my old scanner that allowed me to scan in high definition this ever evolving microcosm (animal, vegetable and mineral). The resulting clip is a close-up examination of how these tiny beings live in this unique ant farm. I observed how decay and corrosion slowly but surely invaded the internal organs of the scanner. Nature gradually takes hold of this completely synthetic environment.
The ants are still alive : the process will continue…
