Having gone through the revelatory, exciting, crazy and exhausting process of creating the forest, I finally have a moment to upload some photos from the completed installation.
My aim was to create a space where people could relax their attention in a similar way as they do in forests. Comments (some shown below) show that the installation definitely achieved this for a lot of people. We have yet to experiment on enough to participants to know whether this can be verified more than anecdotally. I’m hoping I will be able to blog soon about some results from our experiments.
Small selection from many comments:
It’s incredibly easy to spend a good chunk of time in there (at least 30 minutes this time). An incredibly important installation. I’ll be back. Wonderful’.
‘Peaceful and physically engaging. Loved it’
‘Fascinating experiment’
‘Beautiful – made my skin tingle. Loved the depth’.
‘This was the best, very calming’
‘So restful. I loved it’
