Perennial Land Immersive Installation

“We are excited to support one of our latest grantees, 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗱: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁, an experiential installation created by artists 𝗟𝗮𝗶𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗿𝗮 and 𝗜𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝘂𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿, who have been collaborating for the past 15 years. This immersive video installation invites the audience into a contemplative space, surrounded by the dynamic imagery of Earth’s forests. Interspersed with climate and nature data, and scenes showing the profound impact of human activity on our planet, 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗱 creates a powerful visual narrative about nature loss. The installation demonstrates how art and technology can come together to raise awareness and inspire action to protect our ecosystems. We invite you to experience this thought-provoking installation that will be open all day. Come and explore the intricate connections between nature, data, and the urgent need for environmental action.” — Global Commons Alliance, October 23, 2024

By blending art, nature, and technology, the project aims to raise awareness and inspire action to combat nature loss.

“Nature needs us, we need nature. We are part of nature; together we sustain life.” Come and discover this amazing immersive experience as presented by the Accountability Accelerator, part of the Global Commons Alliance. Step into a space transformed into a multi-climate forest, tech and tools about resources and equity are seamlessly integrated into the environment like trees.
Perennial Land – The Data Forest is an experiential installation that combines the beauty of various forest environments with the importance of data-driven insights into a human’s impact on nature. Stepping into a space transformed into a multi-climate forest, tech and tools about resources and equity are seamlessly integrated into the environment like trees. We want to push aside the modern habit of thinking of nature–culture divide, decolonize technology and highlight the ways landscape contributes to social, political and psychic ideas of space. The vulnerability of the environment is directly related to that of certain communities.
