Take flight

We don't want to show you every detail of our installation here. But give you some insights over the coming days. Here's just a quick overview over our plots - and the story behind "Fabulous AntVegas":

WELCOME TO FABULOUS ANTVEGAS
Burn2 - 2010
Aeonia Artist Group at Burning Man 2
The Aeonia Artist Group moved an ant hill into the desert and let the ants experience their personal Sodom and Gomorra. See what happens to the highly organized society if all those all too human distractions are introduced: Shopping, Gambling, Prostitution and Religion.
The theme of Burn2 is "Metropolis - Civilization in the Desert".Ant Hills are among the highest organized civilizations of all. A Metropolis where every member of society has its specific role to play - and work towards the main goal: survival of the tribe.
Individualism has no place in this society. If members start to wander off, the hill is not protected anymore, larvae are not fed, the queen is not cared for. Demise of the whole queendom is the result. Or is it?
What would happen, if the strive for personal freedom and satisfaction of personal desires would become the main goal of every individual ant?
Come to the ultimate Ant Adventure in "Fabulous AntVegas"!
