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.

Slow Walker by writer and director Peder Bjurman draws attention to the significance of these microscopic species by transforming them into one colossal being that hovers above the city, slowly moving, loping and interacting with its surroundings. Pointing the screen of your mobile device towards the sky, this fascinating micro-animal becomes monumental through geo-located Augmented Reality technology: a digital object that is a magnificent sculptural piece in its own right.

Watch this ephemeral being as it moves through the public space of the Melbourne Museum Plaza accompanied by a soundtrack created by Abdul Mogard and AI-generated narration.

To experience Slow Walker, download the free app PROMENAD available for Android and iPhone, and bring your headphones.
