for the liverpool biennale, diller scofidio + renfro presented their installation of `abores laetae`, or joyful trees.
dismissing our conventional distinctions between nature and artifice, the installation consists of 17 hornbeam
trees which have been planted in a grid pattern on an abandoned site, enroute to liverpool`s city centre.
in the middle of the landscape, some trees which are electrically assisted, and which slowly begin to rotate.
here the shade moves at an artificial speed, transforming the patterns we see in nature. the project is a
reinvention of the conventional public park, where the trees become animated around you.
