Tree(ipod)installation by Jane Tingley
The Loop Studio Centre for Lively Arts (#170), Artscape Wychwood Barns, 601 Christie St.
Tree(ipod)installation evokes the possibility of developing technologies that are nature-centric rather than human-centric in order to breathe life back into the idea of an enchanted forest. The installation invites the viewer to walk through an environment, where the location of the body as it moves through the installation space triggers new auditory experiences for both plant and viewer.
