The resulting clip is a close-up examination of how these tiny beings live in this unique ant farm. I observed how decay and corrosion slowly but surely invaded the internal organs of the scanner. Nature gradually takes hold of this completely synthetic environment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/13703448#embed\">ANTS in my scanner > a five years time-lapse!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>(<i>via\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/kottke.org\/\">Kottke<\/a><\/i>)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/click.phdo?s=de3eb6bbb6b212e51d92028353530ba0&#038;p=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/img.phdo?s=de3eb6bbb6b212e51d92028353530ba0&#038;p=1\"><\/a><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" height=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/tags.bluekai.com\/site\/5148\" width=\"0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" height=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/insight.adsrvr.org\/track\/evnt\/?ct=0:dupdmqp&#038;adv=wouzn4v&#038;fmt=3\" width=\"0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/boingboing\/iBag\/~4\/jKCrM58jjt0\" width=\"1\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[This is one of the most beautiful artistic collaborations with animals I&#8217;ve seen yet.
