Hito Steyerl — Animal Spirits
3D animations and computer simulation design
Animal Spirits is a video installation consisting of a film and a live computer-generated animation as well as spatial installation elements. Apart from plants, the glass spheres also contain sensors that measure proxies for plant health as well as react to proximity of visitors in the space. The data gathered by the sensors influence a light-sparkling cloud of particles, travelling through what looks like a natural cave.
