In my interactive video installation, exhibition visitors can navigate through the history of evolution using a jog shuttle (rotary controller). The secret behind the timeline: The proportions of evolutionary time divisions are made tangible.

Below you can see some excerpts of the scenes I built to animate the evolutionary timeline. I put the different environment settings inside a specific era of evolution and animated arthropods that existed during this time. I used a repetitive loop-pattern in my video to communicate how nature develops with time passing almost unstoppable but also slow. I wanted to illustrate that we are just temporary players on a complicated, endless and interwoven playing field. This work’s theme addresses a major issue we surround ourselves with everyday, more and more, in the face of approaching climate changes.
