The Ecuadorian Kuai Shen dedicated his artistic sensibility to the inscrutable and at the same time fascinating world of ants. The chaotic number of small creatures, on the other hand, the complete organization and arrangement of the group living and working within the anthills is something that most likely surprises many of us. With his installation, Kuai Shei managed to translate the communication of ants - seamstresses communicate with the stridulation organ - into a sound that we can also understand. He managed to do this by audio and video monitoring of the activity of the anthill, which is projected into digital data. This "biodata" is transmitted to two gramophones, which translate the speech of the anthill that we see into sound, more precisely scratching - an artistic expression of urban culture.
