I have turned into a tree – Wow! Audience at Vinterlys 2023
This new interactive hybrid installation invites people of all ages to become a tree! The digital artwork ‘captures’ people inside a tree and “plants them on earth”. Visitors see themselves inside their live growing tree with a beautiful colourful overlay.
The planet Earth floating on the tall LED wall is created with images from NASA satellite pictures and data stitched together from observations of Earth.
We were proud to be part of the first light festival off the grid, a new and innovative way to share digital artwork sustainably. The entire festival was wind-powered, using energy stored on a truck-sized battery developed by Vestas Green energy.
