SUMMARY:Altered Tour: Communicating with Ants
DESCRIPTION:
 Exhibition artist Kuia Shen explores the inner 
 workings of ant colonies as metaphors for human 
 society, with a particular focus on how ants 
 are able to mimic responses to certain human 
 technologies. In this Altered tour, Adrian 
 Smith from the North Carolina Museum of Natural 
 Sciences will provide insight into his specialized 
 field of social insect chemical communication 
 to shed light on the inner workings 
 of an ant colony.\n
 \n
 Following Smith's talk, 
 museum and composer Charlie Cooper will experiment 
 with Shen's notion of interspecies communication 
 in a live musical performance with 
 the ants.\n
 \n
 The Altered Tour series invites 
 scholars and experts across a multitude of 
 disciplines to lead tours of our exhibitions 
 from a non-art centered point of view. Special 
 thanks to the MSU Department of Entomology 
 for their support.\n\n
