Table inhabited by squiggly luminous worms

Golan Levin and Zachary Lieberman (with Gerfried Stocker, Erwin Reitböck, Horst Hörtner, Dietmar Offenhuber, Christopher Lindinger, Stefan Mittlböck-Jungwirth, and Martin Honzik) have built "Interactive Bars Phosphorescent" which stars luminous worms darting around and following fingers moves on a table. People can pick up the electronic worms, pet them, then let them go where they would navigate to the closest glass --or whatever else people fish out of their pockets and plonk into the "terrarium"-- and spin colorful light streamers round its base.

The applications could be as benign as a digital baby monitor or as sinister as an isolated, electronic prisoner-tracking device.
