The Ant Translator is an installation for web interaction, a special translator that converts text into images. The work relies on physical coding techniques to demonstrate how ants process complex information and how to build highly social and collaborative relationships. Ants are extremely small creatures, but they have a complex social network similar to that of human society. I was trying to use the language of ants to translate our words and regulate the human world with the rules of their microcosm and establish a new way of communication.
