Anthos is an immersive, interactive light and sound installation that highlights the importance of pollinators and demonstrates our anthropogenic effect on them.
The audience enters an immersive space where they can experience the simulation of a plant-pollinator network, based on European biodiversity models. Live data from CO₂, temperature and humidity sensors is projected in the space, and affects the complex system controlling the visualisation.
The work aims to to uncover potentially hidden secrets about plant-pollinator networks, their functions, and to show how the climate crisis is putting ever more strain on this natural and fragile system.
