Now or Never: Slow Walker
Walk alongside some of the most resilient creatures in the universe.
Tardigrades are living organisms capable of resisting extreme temperatures of cold and heat. They survive in space, can remain frozen for decades, resist vacuum and even radiation. What threatens them is climate change, as rising temperatures change the environment of their natural habitats.
Pointing the screen of your mobile device towards the sky, this fascinating micro-animal becomes monumental through geo-located Augmented Reality technology.
Watch this ephemeral being as it moves through the public space of the Melbourne Museum Plaza accompanied by a soundtrack. Download free app PROMENAD and bring your headphones.
Slow Walker by Peder Bjurman is a free event presented with Museums Victoria.
