Step Inside the Digital Forest

Digital Forest is an interactive animation where the plants and creatures of the forest react to visitors’ presence and movement. I created the Digital Forest installation for Provinssi 2017, a music festival organised in Seinäjoki, Finland during summer.

Digital Forest examines this intertwining of nature and technology and throws up questions about where the “natural” ends and the “artificial” begins. As visitors proceed deeper into the woods, the night becomes day, the sounds of the forest get louder, flowers pop open and butterflies wake up. Some animals are curious and will stop to observe the visitor, while others are frightened and jump away if someone gets too near. The project was developed with Processing and Microsoft Kinect, and makes use of the Open Kinect for Processing library.
