Living Landscapes
Plant a digital tree at the NGV and La Trobe University may plant a real one on its grounds.
Overview
Art meets environmentalism as part of a brand new initiative between La Trobe University and the National Gallery of Victoria. The latest interactive addition to the NGV Friday Nights program, Living Landscapes will let visitors create their own virtual tree on an iPad, and then 'plant' it in a digital scale replica of La Trobe's 30-hectare wildlife sanctuary in Bundoora. For every virtual tree, the university will plant a real one.
"Participants are not only creating their own unique piece of digital art, they are also making a lasting contribution to a sustainable future," said Sanctuary Senior Coordinator Andrew Stocker of the project, which was inspired by the NGV's current David Hockney exhibition. "Living Landscapes embodies David Hockney's unique style by blending technology with old-style painting of beautiful flora and fauna."
