An experimental film to explore behaviors of an artificial system reaching the point of saturation. Central to the work is the aesthetic combination of geometry and life, expressed by collinear structure and living ants. The sugar water falls from the sky, artificially creating an ecosystem for ants to survive. Ants walk along the infinite path, leaving pheromones for the others to follow. Soon one of the ants chose to escape from the saturated system, realizing they have been walking on an infinite path. The others followed and continued walking into the void as they formed another circular loop. Through the perspective of microorganism, the artwork finds the relation between the viewers to reflect the formula emerging from the hyper reality.
