Artists Statement

multimedia interactive installation

(x)trees is a socially interactive, virtual forest generated from search words found in tweets and text messages. It is a collaborative experiment in data visualization, video mapping, and participatory art. The artists have collaborated to create an indoor installation of the (x)trees with multilayered elements such as interactive branches, leaves, flowers, and sounds collected from nature.
