Pinus Sinfónicos – Espaço Monsanto Lisboa 2009

Pinus Sinfonicos is a multimedia installation, commissioned by Camara Municipal de Lisboa.The purpose was to call attention to the disappearing pinetree forest in Portugal. We wanted to make a project that would reverse the direction of the attention that children have inside a forest – so we brought the forest inside a room. By placing around 50 pinetrees with sensors that would deploy sinfonic sounds while the children would walk trought the pines, we believed that their senses would be enhaced. This came to happen strangely in a manifestation right outside the installation. The children spoke many times of the new sound they would hear in the forest outside the installation room.
