Have you ever…? Hug@ree and engage into a playful symbiotic relationship with nature at 10/10/10 Global Work Party | 350.org + Greenpeace
We are getting to work on the climate crisis with task analysis and usability tests towards RTiVISS most recent experience, the interactive installation Hug@ree.
Through an artistic approach in an experimental investigation, we are actively reflecting on the questions: how can we propose constructive approaches to the destructive dynamics of fire that aggravate climate change? Can art foster awareness and respect for nature?
On the 10/10/10, participants helped us reach further » simply huging a real tree anywhere in the world, and then sending the 5 to 10 seconds video or a photo to rtiviss.hugatree@gmail.com !
This action on 10/10/10 triggered the registration in the Real-Time Interactive Video Systems for Sustainability virtual world and screen you at the interactive installation we will be exhibiting at Popup Lisbon. Hug@ree will be symbolizing the complicity between urban beings and the forest to express cities’ new values regarding sustainability.
