The Nature of Elasticity

ANZE BRATUS







The past couple hundred years have seen the effects of humanity on nature unfold at an extraordinary rate and scale. The harsh and aggressive motion of the world we live in shattered the appearance of the earth’s untouched nature. But can nature prevail over the intrusion of men and remain unruptured despite the ever growing interference? Can it eventually retract back to its original form?

The Nature of Elasticity is an audio-visual installation that touches upon the problem of the Anthropocene. The immersive generative soundscape and the interactive visual representation of the issue transform the room into a riveting experience, while submerging the visitor in the centre of the action.

Photographs used for the visuals are the work of Lassi Häkkinen.
