Possibly the creepiest thing I've ever seen.

I don't have a lot of memories of being a kid, but one stands out. I saw some brightly colored fungus on the side of my little shed thing, so I went to poke it. Because that's what you do. And when I did this, it moved. Too much. All of the what I thought were spores ran in different directions, because it was actually a huddled spider colony.

I don't poke things I find as much anymore.
 
I am so using this idea of tons of little baby creepy crawlers hitching a ride on the back of big momma creepy crawly in my sci-fi story about giant alien bugs.

As for the creepy factor, this might be just as disturbing, but in a different way.

Based on an intensive two month research (in cooperation with FESTO and the EMPA) concerning artificial muscles my work reflects upon how new technologies will change future products (and society), and the way we interact with them.

One day active materials such as electroactive polymers will drastically change the way we perceive products. Products will gain new dimensions ranging from changing tactile surfaces over active membranes to morphing shapes. Products of the future will be "alive" in a way.

One of those future products is the so called „Funktionide“. It is an amorph object whose intention is to provide the owner with an atmosphere of presence thus counteracting the feeling of loneliness. In the visions future people are lonely and with all the new dimensions products offer, humans will eventually turn to "robots" for emotional satisfaction.
