Sugar Maples on Inverted Avenue

January 29, 2011

What do the birds them think of them?  Can you tap them for maple syrup?

“TreeLogic is an inverted avenue of 6 sugar maple trees growing upsidedown, suspended 30 ft in the air. This projects frames the trees as a dynamic adaptive system and as visual forms that display their histories. It emulates the neat regular spacings of urban street trees, often used to ‘beautify’ urban environments. However, the slow gymnastics of these trees invites interpretation and speculation on what they will do, could do, how much they have grown or changed, and what birds think of them. Trees are icons of the natural, however, uprooted, they display a logic that redefines our own.”
