A tree grows on the wall of Westerbeek College; a digital projection controlled by the ‘real’ nature outside. This is because the wind blowing outside the building is measured and translated to the computer. The tree is made up of hundreds of particles that together make a natural copy of the movement of a real tree. Quiet in summer, intense in autumn: the tree provides space within an unplanned timeline that makes nature outside palpable.
