The Assembly of Trees

This exhibit looked at how we might listen to the perspectives of trees on our democratic decision making.

A series of touch screens enabled visitors to browse historic canopy health data for trees across Adelaide and view political bills passed during the same period. Visitors were then able to vote on issues on behalf of the trees. A projection visualised these collective interactions in realtime.
