This family of Glow Worm Robots (Tremelectro-Arachnocampa Luminosa) is a rare, primitive but affectionate creatures, discovered in the forest ecosystem of the Snoösphere. This species of socially awkward semi-soft robot can feel when you're close by. They express themselves in clicks and flicks, chattering to each other and tremble with nervous excitement when they sense you are approaching.

These glow worm robots were created as part of the ecosystem at Snoösphere, for The Big Anxiety Festival, UNSW Galleries, Sydney 2017.
