Perennial Land - The Data Forest Immersive Interactive Video and Sound Installation

"Perennial Land – The Data Forest" is a two-part immersive experience that explores the complex relationship between nature, culture, and environmental justice, blending film, visual poetry, cutting-edge technology, and data-driven storytelling. The cinematic interactive installation combines the beauty of various nature environments with critical insights into a human's impact on nature. Stepping into a space transformed into a multi-climate forest, tech and tools about resources and equity are seamlessly integrated into the environment like trees. We want to push aside the modern habit of thinking of nature–culture divide, decolonize technology and highlight the ways landscape contributes to social, political and psychic ideas of space. The vulnerability of the environment is directly related to that of certain communities. Nature does not need us. We need nature. The multimedia exhibit is composed of two interconnected elements. The first is an immersive film experience focused on care and climate justice, data, empathy, and nature, guiding viewers through a visual journey. The second element is an interactive video installation set within a gesture-responsive, dynamic landscape, encouraging audiences to explore their connection with nature. The immersive interactive installation also incorporates cultural narratives and economic systems, simulating actions that drive change while imagining potential futures. This marks the premiere of Perennial Land – The Data Forest Interactive Installation.
