Eden 3

A focus on trees as ubiquitous living things

2006-Present.

This is a tree-focused international research initiative, intended to explore the relationship between the largest things in the world, and climate change. Artists and musicians work with technologists and scientists to reveal the biogenic interaction of trees with the changing atmospheric chemistry of cities. The intent of the project is to reveal a tree’s role in atmospheric exchange, while trying to understand the potential for human-nonhuman empathy, and its relationship to imaginative and responsible human response.
