Wildernets
This outdoor installation will appear in the area around Conflux HQ on September 11, 12, and 13 from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
Wildernets are portable mesh structures that create experiences of wilderness in public spaces.
A new twist on the trend of rediscovering nature, Wildernets, large scale crochet nets with embedded electronics, can be deployed in various settings, bringing the experiences of the forest, trees, birds and night skies to any environment. Wildernets transform the physical configuration and social dimensions of an urban space by overlaying a synthesized “natural” environment.
Wildernets recall a natural space not available to the city dweller, alluding to a rural experience in any setting; interrupting the architecture and the pedestrian to create an improvised experience in collective action, social intervention and DIY technology.
The piece was in collaboration with Mouna Andraos and Doris Cacoilo
