Golan Levin and Zachary Lieberman (with Gerfried Stocker, Erwin Reitböck, Horst Hörtner, Dietmar Offenhuber, Christopher Lindinger, Stefan Mittlböck-Jungwirth, and Martin Honzik) have built “Interactive Bars Phosphorescent” which stars luminous worms darting around and following fingers moves on a table. People can pick up the electronic worms, pet them, then let them go where they would navigate to the closest glass –or whatever else people fish out of their pockets and plonk into the “terrarium”– and spin colorful light streamers round its base.

The applications could be as benign as a digital baby monitor or as sinister as an isolated, electronic prisoner-tracking device.
