A generative art installation about our relationship to nature.
Burning trees is an interactive art installation that models the relationship between humans and nature. The core element of the experience is the music, which reacts to how people move in the room. The visualization on the wall in turn, reacts to the waveform of the music.
In the beginning of the experience, players find themselves far away from the forest projected on the wall of the room. Once they set foot on the laser-tracked floor area, music will start to play, which initially is very calm and organic. The more they push back nature, i.e. the closer they get to the wall, the wilder and more artificial the music and visualization will get, to a point where it starts destroying the forest.
It's completely up to the players how the experience will evolve. And it's also up to them how long it will last. Because the music is created at the cost of nature. And as it's the case with most natural resources, they are not inexhaustible. So the stronger you drain on those resources, the shorter the fun will last.
