ABOUT
Currently in working prototype phase, this project explores relationships of entanglement between the human and nonhuman (local flora and fauna) and the in-betweens of these entanglements that result in new knowledge and new embodiments- New Natures.
This project marks a transition into three-dimensional media, in an attempt to create immersive, responsive art installations using natural local materials and other more ethereal materials such as untreated silks in conjunction with technological components such as motion sensors, to create interior landscapes that explore culture and urban/natural spatial evolution and result in what I am calling New Natures. These immersive landscapes react to human presence in interior spaces and engage individuals on a non-verbal, purely emotional level.
These New Natures are based on psychological studies where findings indicate that the human brain is unable to differentiate between actual nature and a reproduction of nature. In creating these immersive, non-verbal experiences with these New Natures, I explore the possibilities of “harnessing” the same positive psychological benefits identified in this study, and the audience is invited to explore exactly what that non-verbal, intuitive experience might be.
