funky forest


This amazing digital forest called Funky Forest was created by visual and motion graphics designer Emily Gobeille and interactive artist and designer Theodore Watson. They created it for the Cinekid Festival in Amsterdam. The installation is a simulated experience where visitors influence the environment around them. For example, by diverting streams of water flowing on the floor different parts of the forest grow. If a tree doesn't get enough water it dies but standing against a wall and pressing your body into the forest creates new trees based on your shape. This installation is simply amazing, beautifully illustrated and colourful. 
I would love to have actually been there. 
You can watch a video of it here!
