The human participant will enter a dimly lit space that contains a worm-shaped box, wired up to a worm-shaped chaise lounge. Visible on the ceiling is a live video projection of the interior of a worm box. The participant/viewer might decide to sit or lie down to view the projections above. They will experience vibrations from just under surface of the lounge, which are the live sounds of the worm box, highly amplified and directed into speakers attached to the underside of the lounge. It is possible for the human participant to spatially locate the activity inside the worm box, based on the location of the multiple speakers placed underneath them. They can hear and "feel" the vibrations of the worms and other insects in the box, who are going about their regular activities of eating, moving and making fertilizer. An infrared camera inside the dark container feeds live, projected images onto the ceiling to provide viewers with visual confirmation of the life inside.
