Ghost Trees (4k Video projection and audio broadcast).
Nature as Data (James McGrath & Gary Sinclair).

Ghost Trees is an ongoing creative collaboration between James McGrath and Gary Sinclair (Nature as Data). The exploratory work continues to evolve and morph while retaining the core themes of data, environment, science and art.

Ghost Trees Abstract:
Created by visualising and sonifying big data-sets provided by TERN (Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network) Ghost Trees brings to life the endangered Rushworth Forest, (Victoria, Australia) in the lands of the Ngurai-illam-wurrung people.
These datasets are ephemeral yet fixed recordings of dying ecosystems; digital memories of disappearing landscapes, echoes of our lost environment.
LIDAR scans take the viewpoint of someone within the landscape and from within the limbs of the trees - we become part of the organism.
Music is generated from the trees spatial data points - the forest is singing.
The work strives to re-imagine and re-experience our connection to the wonder and awe of the natural environment through art, data, science and technology. The use of digital technologies - the new and thriving ecosystem - offers a counterpoint to the endangered natural environment and a doorway through which to remotely experience it in an entirely new way.
