A Transformative VR Experience
to Connect with Nature
With "I am a Tree" we invite you to experience what it's like to live as a tree. "I am a Tree" consists of three VR scenes touching on different aspects, telling an immersive multi-sensory VR story around the interconnection of humanity and nature. We aim to evoke compassion and a feeling of connectedness to nature.
From the depths of the earth’s soil
My spirits soared to reach the sky
My lips kissed the sun’s embrace
More than a bark and a leaf, I am life’s breath
I am a Tree.
In the first scene you are standing in the middle of a peaceful nature environment: healthy green trees, leaves blowing in the wind, some insects, butterflies and birds flying around.
In the second scene, experience the man-made destruction of nature while being trapped in a tree, with no agency. How will you feel?
In the third scene you experience an out of body experience that invites you to reflect. You leave the body of the tree. Are you human again? Are you still a tree?
