The Dynamic Performance of Nature is a solar and wind‐powered installation designed to sense the animate natural environment  and interactively communicate it to the visitors through a dynamic interactive wall. It’s inspired by the concept that sustainability for the 21st century should be crafted to evolve beyond conventional application of green techniques into something alive and integrated with the environment, conditioning the most sophisticated forms of creativity for the preservation of life. In order to thrive, it’s imperative we once again find the ability to synchronize with the natural world and thoughtfully respond to its power and grace to truly live sustainably. Humanity must learn to touch, feel, understand, and listen to the dynamic performance of nature happening all around us.

Science and technology have created unprecedented ways with which to achieve a new synchronous relationship with our world. Just as our ancestors knew the sun, wind and the soil with their hands and hearts, the ability to sense the behavior of our environment through an orchestration of cutting edge sensing devices and high‐tech personal interfaces will enable a new form of environmental perception in our children’s lifetimes. Our wall installation attempts to capture the ethos of this future by utilizing an array of environmental sensing devices and connecting them to a sweeping composition of intelligent interactive elements. So orchestrated, the assembly forms a delightful and inspiring user experience which also performs as an attractive functional element for the entry space.
