Superorganism

About Superorganism

In a new art installation called Superorganism, Wales based artist Alison Hayes has created a mesmerising experience in which images of millions of ants are viewed ceaselessly at work through large scale shimmering spheres. The installation will begin in the Coed y brenin Visitor Centre as night falls and will lead out into a series of forest trails where the spheres are suspended between conifer trees in the forest. Refreshments available at the visitor centre.

How to get there:
