https://videopress.com/v/0NDXRSOD Sabellidae? I'm reading up on worms, and while I haven't checked with anyone yet, I think this is a type of tube worm in the family Sabellidae, commonly called a feather duster worm.

Thanks to David Stroud for shooting this video of Pool at Hosfelt Gallery. It's the most beautifully sunny gallery in all of San Francisco, so the video is a little pale. There's a Nam June Paik piece across the room that's an aquarium in an old wooden CRT television case, critters built out of vacuum … Continue reading swimmy Pool video
