Humannature: Craig Walsh’s Video Projections Transform Trees into Spooky Glowing Faces

Glowing human faces reveal themselves at night in Australian artist <a title="Craig Walsh’s Spooky Hummanature Fuse Glowing Talking Faces and Trees" href="http://craigwalsh.net/" target="_blank">Craig Walsh</a>'s digital installations. Spooky at first glance, Humannature is a temporary intervention <a title="Craig Walsh’s Spooky Hummanature Fuse Glowing Talking Faces and Trees" href="http://inhabitat.com/clement-briend-projects-digital-deities-onto-trees-in-cambodia/" target="_blank">projected onto trees</a> to create a glowing nighttime spectacle as Walsh's pre-recorded videos develop a new and curious texture when presented against nature.

Based in Australia, Walsh has been projecting his human faces on trees around Havana, Japan’s Fuji Rock, London’s Hyde Park, Adelaide and Singapore.

Projecting a flat image on a living voluminous tree adds a new dimension to his art.

A site-specific project, this great moving image installation pays homage to humans and nature at the same time.

Made by projecting computer-manipulated portraits or pre-recorded videos, the faces are perceived like giant holograms.

But sometimes the videos are live, allowing people to talk to the faces, or trees! (see the video).

Creating little impact on the environment but a long-lasting impression on the audience, Humannature make trees talk.
