Australian artist Scott Bain uses real insects, old watch parts and small model figures to create his Micromachina series. Adelaide-based Scott, 39, explains:
"Micromachina examines what makes the insect world tick, and considers our attempts to control nature and the consequences.
Once the stuff of science fiction, today flying and crawling insects are used by the military, fitted with audio and video devices.
This exhibition experiments using real taxidermy beetles as mechanised shells, to show how we mistreat our fellow inhabitants, forcing them to do our will."
