THREE TREES

  'DIALOGUE'. 

Speak to the trees. The lights will go on, and the trees will respond. By talking or breathing to the CO2 sensor placed on the stand in the middle of the platform,  the visitor can activate lights and the measuring chambers attached to the branches of the trees. the process can be activated when the light in sensor is green. The decrease of CO2 in the measuring chambers, caused by photosynthesis and the leaves, is audible as a whistling sound. Lights, sound, CO2 digital and analogue technology, and biochemical processes within the plant and the fewer former circuit, where each part of information is in  relation and dependent upon the others. In the process of photosynthesis carbon dioxide is converted into sugars and other organic compounds. Nearly all life depends of that since this either directly or indirectly as the ultimate source of energy and food. The photosynthesis is also essential for maintaining the normal level of oxygen in the atmosphere. As we breathe out or release carbon dioxide into the sphere, photosynthesis organisms can fix it, releasing oxygen as a byproduct. The interaction between  species is thus physical, as our bodies are parts in the same metabolism. 

 'TREE PIECE.' 

Three tress are stretched between the sky and the earth, begin held in tension owing to the water they evaporate. Their diameter slowly expands and contracts according to the prevailing conditions of light and activity. The change of their measures in this consent yet visible tension alters the pitch of the sound. 

 Finland presents to sell exhibitions under the heading Fallen Trees; Terike Haapoja  in the Nordic Pavilion and one of Antti Laitien in the Finnish Aalto Pavilion.  true to its title, the exhibition revisits a dramatic event at the 2011 be a  Venice biennial,  the abrupt falling of a large tree that left  the Finnish  Pavilion severely damage, and effectively closed ahead of its time.  as this as a starting point, Fallen Trees  assesses our relationship with nature  three multiple means of re-enactment and repetition. Terike Haapoja Challenges us to ponder police of profound questions the limits to the centrality of the human subject with a nature, the role of technology in shaping our world view. Haapoja  has converted the pavilion into a research laboratory,  dialogue between art, natural science and environmental ethics. Antti Laitinen offers multiple stories about qualities of human endeavours. His art reveals fascinating tragicomedy embedded in a relationship with nature. I throughly liked the Finish Pavilion when visiting the 2013 Venice Biennial, as the interest and concentration within the natural world and the importance it has is fascinating. The deconstruction of the tree and then placed back in its original state, to form a kind of tree puzzle, inspires feelings of human power over nature, the effect and the destruction we can create, yet also the encouragement and growth we can give back to nature. http://www.myartguides.com/venice-art-biennale-2013/art-biennale/national-participations/item/403-finland-nordic-pavilon
