I have studied art and environmental science in post secondary school. To-date I have kept the dualistic artistic mind and scientific mind separate. However, now I am interested in combining these minds and reconciling the roles I play by creating a persona of a pseudo scientist who seeks to improve plant production and yields using interdisciplinary techniques. I am interested in combine artistic and scientific practices to create an immersive multi-sensory experience for the viewer using video, audio, sculptural, and an interactive elements. The participant will be able to have a heightened experience while exploring the national park with the aid of technology. As an underlining theme, my work seeks to determine the role technology has had in the disruption of nature and how we may use technology to improve nature.
