A small digital side quest

Bugs.

Bugs is a small digital experiment from Bart Labs.

Design breakdown / concept drawings

A small creature. A moment of attention.

An experiment does not need to be a product to deserve a place in the lab.

Start with a silhouette

The hand-drawn bug is the visual starting point of the piece.

The design choice

A small, recognisable character invites a closer look.

The original Bugs gesture instructions02 / Explore

Movement invites a response

The camera picks up hand movement. Small movements draw creatures closer, while faster gestures can startle them.

The design choice

Keep the route into the work direct.

The honeybee in the Bugs creature guide03 / Continue

Watch the creatures

The creature guide traces behaviours such as the honeybee’s waggle dance. Each creature responds differently to proximity and motion.

The design choice

This is a small side project; the presentation stays proportionate to it.

01 / THE IDEA

A small detour from the useful.

This corner of the lab is about curiosity: a small creature and a reason to stop and look. The hand-drawn bug provides the visual starting point.

02 / THE WORK

Inside the project

The original experiment is linked below. This page keeps the artwork and a route into the piece together, without turning a small side project into a bigger story than it needs.
