Watch molten metal fill an ant colony to create a stunning metal sculpture. We pour liquid aluminum into an abandoned ant mound to map the complex underground tunnels. Once cooled and excavated, the resulting structure reveals the intricate architecture of the colony. This project highlights the natural engineering found beneath our feet.Subscribe for more unique science and art experiments.
We turned a complex ant colony into a permanent metal sculpture using molten aluminum.
Watch the raw process of mapping underground tunnel systems by filling an abandoned nest with liquid metal. Once the casting hardens and we excavate the dirt, the true scale of the colony's natural engineering is finally laid bare.
See how this stunning piece of living architecture looks as a centerpiece in a modern home.
