A Worm’s Eye View

The subtle intricacies of our surroundings are often overlooked, but in the world of autism, details often hold more importance than the big picture.

Have you ever seen morning dew shimmer on a spider’s web, or held a leaf to your eye to reveal its tiny, branching veins? The subtle intricacies of our surroundings are often overlooked, but in the world of autism details can hold more importance than the big picture. A Worm’s Eye View celebrated this perspective revealing the miraculous in the mundane.

In this 360° video installation, filmmaker Adam Larsen brought the spectacular details of the great outdoors inside. With the use of six high definition projectors and surrounding screens, viewers were fully immersed in the colors, textures, and shapes that together make the big picture possible.
