Perennial Land — The Data Forest by Laia Cabrera & Isabelle Duverger

The installation, featuring an immersive film alongside an interactive video experience, showcases the beauty of Earth’s landscapes while highlighting the importance of data-driven insights into human impact on nature.

Perennial Land – The Data Forest is a two-part installation that explores the complex relationship between nature, culture, and environmental justice. Combining visual poetry, cutting-edge technology, and data-driven storytelling, the piece creates an immersive experience that invites audiences to reflect on their role in addressing climate change.

The installation is composed of two interconnected elements. The first is an immersive film experience focused on care and climate justice, data, empathy, and nature, guiding viewers through a visual journey that highlights the urgency of environmental issues. The second element is an interactive video installation set within a gesture-responsive, dynamic landscape, encouraging audiences to explore their connection with nature and their agency in tackling climate challenges. The immersive interactive installation also incorporates cultural narratives and economic systems, simulating actions that drive change and exploring how landscapes shape social, political, and psychological ideas of space, while imagining potential futures.
