Am Herrenrƶdchen

Herrenrƶdchen is located in the north of Weimar, c.a. 2.5 km from the city center. Besides the student apartments of Thuringia, numerous trees also inhabit here, which appear in different states with the change of seasons and climatic conditions. According to the semester's project theme: Observation - Experiment - Connection, the trees of Herrenrƶdchen are taken as the research objects and used for further experiments.

The project output is a visual installation based on a real-time camera footage and collected environmental data. In it, the dynamics of leaves blowing in the wind and the floating values of light in the atmosphere are employed as two kinds of different realities. The trail of objects' movements and their active colors are left on the digital canvas by programming. The visual aesthetics are thus created and hopefully could reflect the local seasonal changes and the passage of time through a longer period of observation.

Initial idea

The initial idea is to generate images by collecting local environmental data: trees in the nature act as "perceivers" of the environment, witnessing the seasons, climate, environmental changes and the passage of time.
