A couple of time lapse videos that although completely
different, nevertheless manage to compliment each other. The first is a
beautifully shot video of Manhattan recorded at various times across multiple days and nights. The other, a somewhat surreal piece showing
the slow decay and transformation that an ant colony wreaks on an old scanner.

Manhattan in Motion Time Lapse
Josh ‘Getting My Time Lapse On’ Owens publishes his videos
under the Mindrelic pseudonym.

Describing Ants in My Scanner as “… an exploration of the aesthetic of life and degradation”, Paris based François Vautier, the creator of this short video explains that five years ago he…
"…installed an ant colony inside my old scanner
that allowed me to scan in high definition this ever evolving microcosm
(animal, vegetable and mineral). The resulting clip is a close-up examination
of how these tiny beings live in this unique ant farm. I observed how decay and
corrosion slowly but surely invaded the internal organs of the scanner. Nature
gradually takes hold of this completely synthetic environment.”
Vautier (whose work was presented at the WORLD EXPO Shanghai
2010), adds that the ants are still alive, and that the process of recording
the colony continues.
