Through a detailed metal sculpture and an augmented reality iPad application, the story of the life cycle of the fungus Cordyceps—which creates the so-called “Zombie Ants”—unfolds.
The ZAE is a unique multimedia installation that includes metal sculpture, animation, performance, and augmented reality. The installation takes many forms depending on the location of the project—whether in the lobby of a building or on a theater stage. When using the augmented reality application, it becomes a truly interactive experience. When on stage, surrounded by projections and sculptures, one is fully immersed in the world of the zombie ant.
It becomes a piece of living, breathing art.
