Natural Capital: An interactive Tree of Concern - A plush textured surface under feet sets the immersive scene for ENESS’ latest digital ecopade on the banks of the Yarra River near Melbourne’s Fed Square. Artificial illumination reigns to produce a sublime environment that works diligently to interact with a spectrum of human senses. An exploration of the space will tap into personal theories relating to natural capital and our worldview in relation to climate change – a term that is embedded with infinite meaning and consequence.

A projected tree, with a purpose to retrieve vital information, matures organically in response to a metaphorical fertilizer – insert a leaf and observe immediate evolution, an engrossing possibility for eco-systems of the world in need of nurturing. A temporary bastion for positive change, treasure your Natural Capital.

ENESS’s Skipping Digital was a digital carpet that took over QV Square in Melbourne after dark and compelled interactive connectivity between friends and strangers. Abstract messages and images that overlay the surface responded to activity and the public was responsible for designing the space with colourful particles of light as they play through the square.

Attractive apparitions fed public curiosity and compelled dancing, strolling, rolling and skipping. The square was charged with beaming energy and paths materialised as quickly as they disappeared. [via]
