What was once a myth is becoming a reality. In a world filled with the remnants of human technology, nature has adapted to create the wax worm – a creature that feeds on plastic. Created from recycled cables and technical equipment, the Wax Worm object points to the power of nature to adapt to human-altered conditions. The project was created during a residency at the 4D gallery and warns of a possible future where nature merges with technology. The goal is to draw attention to the fact that if humanity wants to survive, it must adapt to nature, which is always capable of renewal.
Alex and Radovan create objects full of cables, lights, natural materials, which are supported by music and sound. They depict our nightmares where the world has turned into visions of a dystopian future. They created their own concept. It adheres to the basic idea: technology becomes as natural to us as nature itself. A world where nature must adapt to technology to survive. The idea is to show where we, as humanity, can find ourselves. At a time when technologies are becoming more natural to us, like living forms. The objects are inspired by nature, science fiction world, computer games, visualizations generated by neural networks (AI) and statistics about the climate crisis. He builds fictitious worlds and living creatures whose basic building material is human waste. Plastics, cables, technology… These creatures follow instinct and adapt to survive. We play gods, but nature will win.
