Radiolarian

Radiolarian is a mobile, interactive, scale model of a microscopic plankton called a radiolarian.

Radiolarian is an inflatable scale model of a microscopic ocean dwelling organism of the same name. Radiolarians are single celled organisms that create a silica exoskeleton that is radially symmetric. They drift with the ocean currents and are a unique species that use photosynthesis as well as eating other smaller organisms. Radiolarian, the art project, is an inflatable and mobile replica of this microscopic creature, sitting on an electric wheelchair base and lit with hundreds of LEDs.

*Radiolarian will be roaming around the Festival. Catch it at Big Pink during Bling Your Thing on Saturdays from 6 – 8 PM*
