Wood Wide Web

NATURE’S HIDDEN NETWORK

 

Wood Wide Web draws a parallel between the human internet and the sophisticated communication of the forest. Deep underground, mushrooms communicate and exchange information through vast mycelium networks, forming symbiotic relationships with plants to share water and nutrients.

This magical, hidden world is translated into a gigantic interactive game (up to 12x4m). Visitors are invited to step into this digital forest where a simple wave of the hand makes the mushrooms grow, interact, and thrive. It is an immersive journey into the "social network" of nature, blending biological science with playful digital art.

 

INSTALLATION HIGHLIGHTS

• Giant Interactive Canvas: The massive 12x4m dimensions provide a spectacular visual anchor that can transform any flat surface or facade into a living, reactive forest.

• Intuitive Interaction: Using advanced motion sensors, the artwork responds instantly to hand gestures, making it accessible and engaging for all ages without the need for physical controllers.

• Educational Narrative: Beyond its visual beauty, the installation offers a powerful starting point for conversations about ecology, environmental interconnectedness, and the "wood wide web" of our planet.
