This presentation features a live musical score by Matthew De Gennaro. 　　COMPOUND EYES (No. 1) - 7 min.; A macro-menagerie of natural life-forms are introduced in a forest’s tapestry of earth, water and air: Spiders, slugs, flies, bees, and ants navigate their lives in darkness and light. 　　ODONATA (No. 2) - 5 min.; Taking Gaston Bachelard’s “The Poetics of Space” as an inspiration, ODONATA is an exploration of spaces vast and small, from within the perspective of a damselfly and a city of skyscrapers. In between these two worlds, as well as the film grain, lies the dreamer. 　　DIPTERA AND LEPIDOPTERA (No. 3) - 5 min.; Flies and butterflies pollinate in a series of beautiful landing maneuvers.. 　　 　　ARANEAE (No. 4) - 5 min.; The fear dream of a spider, a web and a factory. 　　 　　CARIDEA AND ICHTHYES (No. 5) - 6 min.; Fish and crustaceans appear to swim within an ether of natural and unnatural energies.
