CHRISTA SOMMERER, LAURENT MIGNONNEAU http://www.?
1994, Phototropy Each insect is based on algorithms so the computer can generate thousand of them. They can distinguish themselves in their way of flying and consequently in their aptness for survival. This installation detects the light coming from a flashlight. It analyzes information about the speed of movement, the lenth of time a place is lit up and the flashlight's absolute position. The light acts as the point of attraction for the insects and is vital to their presence, but it is also an element of destruction, since they can die if exposed for too long. Thus, simply by using the beam of light, the visitor can activate and modify their life cycle.
