From 14 – 25 May 2011, Active Ingredient will present a new artwork commissioned by Fermynwoods Contemporary Art, “A Conversation Between Trees” at Top Lodge, Fineshade Woods.

 

The artwork is a journey through the forest to discover the invisible forces at play – revealing a story of climate and environmental change.

A gallery exhibition in the Forestry Commission’s Little Barn houses a climate machine that interprets global CO2 measurements from the last 70 years, scorching the data as heat rings into paper.

Projected on the wall is a dynamic 3D visualisation of temperature, humidity, light, decibels, colour and CO2 data collected from trees in the forest and in the Mata Atlantica (the Atlantic Forest), Brazil. Environmental sensors connected to mobile phones are placed in the canopy of a tree in each of these forests.

During the residency there will be a range of ways that the public can get involved and collect their own sensory data in the woods. Visitors will be able to borrow a specially programmed mobile phone to take into the forest to use as a lens, to reveal the invisible forces at play in the forest. Visitors with Android phones will be able install the application on their phones with the help of the Artists.

The artists are also conducting an ongoing exchange between schools in the UK and Rio de Janeiro through a series of workshops in both countries, exploring environmental sensing and the future of our forests through Art, Science and ICT.

At the end of each exhibition the artists will have created a unique set of 200 art prints, showing global CO2 scorched into paper.
