“Welcome to a forest that spans time and location… from the temperate north to the tropical south.
Take a journey through the forest to discover the invisible forces at play, where the air speaks as you travel through time and space - to reveal a story of 150 years of climate and environmental change. The story of this forest will be revealed through a set of clues, generated as a series of data maps, leaving traces of a conversation between trees in Brazil and the UK, and our presence in the forest.”

A Conversation Between Trees is a new locative artwork that connects trees in different environments, using environmental sensors technologies to visualise and interpret the sensor data as an interactive installation. A playful conversation between artists, scientists, audience and location exploring woodland ecologies in the UK and Brazil, developed through a series of residency labs.
‘Uma Conversa Entre Árvores’ conecta árvores em diferentes ambientes, utilizando sensores conectados a telefones celulares que permitem visualizar e interpretar os dados do sensor como parte de uma nova arte localizada.
