Discover Of the Oak, an immersive sound and video experience by artist collective Marshmallow Laser Feast.
Projected on floor-to-ceiling screen, Of the Oak reveals the inner workings and interconnectivity of an oak tree and its surroundings, and the invisible networks that sustains one of nature’s greatest ecosystems – a captivating fusion of art, science and wonder.
Using LiDAR scanning, ground-penetrating radar, CT-scanned soil samples, and thousands of photographs, Marshmallow Laser Feast have created a remarkable “digital double” of Kew Gardens’ majestic Lucombe Oak.
The mesmerising large-scale video installation is accompanied by a surround-sound audio environment – composed from 24 hour recordings made by sound artist James Bulley and arborists at Kew Gardens and Wakehurst Kew’s wild botanic garden in Sussex – that fills the Chapel with the living soundscape of the oak.
Commissioned by Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
