Ant-triguing Motion Interface using Opto-Interrupter

Complex behavior into Algorithm

At first glance, the movement of ants appears chaotic, much like the sound and appearance of a noise.

However, upon closer and longer observation, underlying patterns and rules emerge.

Ant-“Trig”uing Motion Interface

Opto-interrupter works by detecting interruptions in a light beam between an emitter and a detector, which occurs when an ant pass through and blocks the light.

Designed and made by Romy Jiwoo Song, soldered thorns winding through the entire work create unique visuals showcasing complex connectivity of the ant colony.

The metallic texture of Romy’s solder objects beautifully contrasts with the gray plaster nests, accentuating the juxtaposition between nature and technology.
