“Animalia Chordata” by Gabriel Barcia-Colombo received a Honorary Mention in the Interactive Art category of the Prix Ars Electronica 2007.
A wide variety of human specimens have been collected in bottles and placed on view for your enjoyment. Watch as they struggle to get out! But approach with caution – the characters in each bottle respond to your presence. While some beg you for help, others fear for their lives!
