Ant Farm, the radical architecture and media art collective active from 1968 to 1979, is best known for iconic works like Cadillac Ranch and Media Burn. Alongside these projects, the group created a wide range of experimental works spanning video, publications, performances and built environments.
Throughout their career, Ant Farm developed a series of time capsules that captured the fleeting details of postwar American culture—from consumer goods to media archives and everyday objects.
The Present Is the Form of All Life offers the first comprehensive look at these overlooked projects and their exploration of memory, media and the idea of the time capsule.
