Decoration beetles Lito Karakostanoglou, Statues from … dead beetles Inamura Yoneiji, and now toy beetles? Not really … More precisely, not at all. In Scott Bane's MICROMACHINA project, one can see an obvious protest. Man uses insects thoughtlessly, like everything else in this world, and believes that in doing so he can control the consequences.
“Humanity is flagrantly disrespectful to nature, everything in the life of a person is subordinated to profit, including life itself! Ultimately, this approach will be the cause of our death - says Scott Bane. “Pesticides, herbicides, genetic modification and urban dirt have already upset the delicate balance of life. The moment is not far away when Mother Nature will say: "It's too late!" And will get rid of one of the biggest pests … from us."
Once the subject of science fiction, insects equipped with audio and video devices are used by the military. Scott Bane's project "MICROMACHINA" is an exhibition of yet another experiment using real dead beetles as mechanized projectiles. According to the author, the main goal of the project is to show "how we torture our 'little brothers', the same full-fledged inhabitants of the Earth, forcing them to do our will."
In this project, according to the author, only beetles that died on highways were used.
