FEEDBACK
In our daily lives, we are confronted with an ever growing stream of stimuli that fight for our attention. Our brains get little rest and we lose the ability to focus our attention and deeply engage in an experience. Even at Glow the danger of over-stimulation lurks.
But science can help! Attention Restoration Theory (A.R.T), proposed by Stephen and Rachel Kaplan, suggests that specific patterns from nature allow us to relax, escape and recharge for new demanding activities.
We took inspiration from A.R.T to create a space for calm restoration, rather than additional stimulation. Patterns that emerge from the natural movements of the trees are recorded and translated live into modulation of light and sound, so you can lose yourself in an unfocused, time-stretched atmosphere an find yourself recovered, recharged and refreshed at the end of the walk.
