通过将12个传感器连接到一棵树上
世界上污染最严重的城市：中国，成都
我们将收集到的12,000个数据点，展示了污染水平、光合作用和生长模式，转化为树背后可视化的实时年轮。
树木的年轮是每秒产生的，而不是每年产生的，它实时地展示了树木的健康状况。
在气候变化的时代向大自然发出声音。
"Voice of Nature βº1"是环境意识艺术和生物艺术的交集。我们与代尔夫特理工大学的科学家合作，利用从一棵树中获取的实时数据来谈论气候变化的紧迫性。通过这种方式，我们希望唤起人们对于环境问题的关注。
使用环境传感器，我们生成了1600个数据点，创建了一个数据可视化，显示了这棵树对周围环境变化的实时感受。
树木是大自然的记录者。它们通过隐藏在树皮后面的年轮来记录它们的生活，对于那些知道如何阅读这种树木文字的人来说，年轮讲述了一个详细的故事。它们揭示了树木一生中的环境变化、疾病、森林火灾、干旱和污染程度。
如果未来还有树，它们的年轮将显示我们的物种是如何努力限制碳排放并毒害地球的。但是，如果有一种方法可以利用树木的自然气候监测能力向普通人传达气候变化的紧迫性呢?这就是《VOICE OF NATURE》（自然之声）背后的激励思想。
这件艺术作品结合了生物生成的数据，并创造出一种在技术上具有挑战性但又具备智力可理解性的视觉语言。通过这种方式，艺术作品既利用了先进的技术手段，又能够使观众理解和参与其中。《VOICE OF NATURE》（自然之声）首次在中国污染最严重的城市之一成都展出。连接到树根、树叶和树枝上的传感器，监测环境条件，如二氧化碳水平、温度、湿度和光照水平，这些数据被输入到算法中，每秒而不是一年生成数字年轮，在树后面的巨大光环上显示出这些实时年轮，让人们看到了那一刻树的健康状况，给了大自然一个可能被人类听到的声音。
以一种诗意的方式展示出人类对变化中的气候有着重大的影响，并且他们的行为可以在两个方向上产生影响。通过触摸树木，艺术作品能够平静下来或者能量水平增长，给观众带来了一种令人振奋的信息：变革就在他们的指尖之间。这样的表现方式使人们感受到自己具备改变的能力。
By connecting 12 sensors to a living tree in one of
the most polluted cities in the world; Chengdu, China,

we turned the 12.000 collected data points, showcasing the pollution levels, photosynthesis and growth patterns, into real time tree rings visualised behind the tree.

The tree rings, created every second instead of every year, presented the trees well being in real time.
Giving a voice to nature in times of climate change.
Voice of Nature βº1’is on the intersection of environmental awareness art and bio art. Collaborating with the scientists from Delft Technical University we used real time data coming from a tree in order to talk about the urgency of climate change.
Using environmental sensors we generated 1,600 data points to create a data visualisation that showed how the tree was feeling real time about the environmental changes happening around it.
Trees are nature’s record keepers. They document their lives through annual growth rings hidden behind their bark, and for those that know how to read this arboreal script, the rings tell a detailed story. They reveal environmental changes and disease, forest fires and droughts and pollution levels throughout the tree’s life.
If there are any trees left in the future, their rings will show how our species struggled to limit our carbon emissions and poisoned the Earth. But what if there was a way to use the natural climate monitoring ability of trees to convey the urgency of climate change to ordinary people? This is the motivating idea behind Voice of Nature.
The artwork combines bio generated data and creates a visual language that is technologically challenging but intellectually accessible. Voice of Nature was first exhibited in Chengdu, one of the most polluted cities of China. The sensors connected to its roots, leaves, and branches, monitor environmental conditions such as CO2 levels, temperature, moist and light levels, which are fed to an algorithm to generate digital rings every second instead of a year, Showed on a giant halo behind the tree these real time rings confronted people with the tree’s health at that moment, giving nature a voice that might be heard by humanity.
Showing in a poetic way that humanity has a big influence on the changing climate and their actions can influence in both ways. By touching the tree the artwork calms down or has its energy levels grow, leaving the spectator with an empowering message that change is at their fingertips.
