Gather the Forest is an interactive art installation created collaboratively by Stuart Romm, Amy Landesberg, Jordan Graves, and myself for the Extension of Community exhibition in Atlanta. The installation combines generative imagery, JavaScript, a Node.js server, and geolocation to enable visitors to plant virtual trees on an LED wall using their phones. Moreover, it offers them the opportunity to plant real trees through an organization called Trees Atlanta.
The project emphasizes the parallel dynamics of human communities and forest ecosystems, with the aim of bringing people together physically to take action towards building a more sustainable technology-driven world.
