Craig Walsh- Humanature

From Australia

A TREE THAT TALKS! DO NOT BE ALARMED. DO NOT ADJUST YOUR VISION. A SIMPLE PARADIGM-SHIFT IS ALL THAT IS REQUIRED. IN HUMANATURE, ARTIST CRAIG WALSH TRANSFORMS TREES INTO MONUMENTAL TALKING HEADS BY NIGHT.

The result of slide and video projections of computer manipulated portraits, pre-recorded video and live video feeds, the giant heads glowing in the darkness are often perceived as huge holograms. Craig wants to provoke viewers to consider not only their own personal relationships with nature but more importantly, humankind's global dependence on the world around them.
