Thigmonastic Specimen 001

Changing environments. Neo Art Connect

Kinetic Sculpture. A speculative mechanical symbiote which is fused with a decomposing log. The hybrid casts a critical perspective upon the natural/artificial dichotomy which allows us the comfort of a passive attitude towards the environment.

The creature dwells in a future where nature has degraded to a point in which it needs a man-made prosthesis in order to exist. Whenever sensing presence, the specimen rattles in order to scare away anything that might pose a threat to the microbial flora.
