Creatures

Creatures is an interactive installation that simulates the appearance of life and explores individual and emergent group behaviors. The physical form of Creatures is inspired by the artist's interpretation of a coral reef and the anemones that live within.

Fifteen identical creatures live in a fabricated "reef" ecosystem. Undisturbed, they communicate colorfully, their messages rippling across the colony. If you touch one it alerts the group by recoiling and flashing a deep red, sacrificing itself while the others hide themselves in blue.
