The Ant Farm (art collective)

The Ant Farm was an influential American art collective founded in 1968 by Chip Lord, Doug Hall, and Douglas Bury. Known for combining media, architecture, and performance, they explored how humans interact with technology and environments. They created innovative projects like the "Media Burn," a car stunt that critiqued media spectacle, and built large, interactive art installations. Their work often challenged traditional notions of art, emphasizing experimentation and social commentary. The Ant Farm played a key role in expanding the boundaries of contemporary art, especially in the realms of media art and architectural experimentation.
