Folding Nature, 2022

Video, MIDI keyboard

Dimensions Variable

Folding Nature is an interactive installation that bridges tactile input and generative visuals. When audiences strike a MIDI keyboard, each note triggers a sonic event that doubles as an algorithmic intervention, disrupting and reshaping the on-screen narrative in real time. The visuals are drawn from 3D-scanned natural landscapes, which a digital engine reconfigures into a hybrid ecology: a form of nature preserved and disseminated through digital syntax.

Conceived as an evolving archive, the project grows through crowdsourced data. By inviting the public to contribute landscape samples, the work becomes a participatory inquiry into the symbiotic, and often fraught, relationship between nature, culture, and technology in the post-digital age.
