Technology vs nature: when Parisian attractions are outgrown by nature

In December 2015, Paris will host the 21st climate conference, and Belgian artist Naziha Mestaoui is preparing the project "One beat, one tree" for this occasion, when Parisian landmarks will grow trees, turning the concrete jungle into a jungle for a short time. At the same time, "One beat one tree" will take root in other European capitals as well.

Of course, it will only be about 'green' projections, but they will be strong knocked on consciousness everyone, but especially those who will sit at the green table in Paris. The installation will be a bridge between the virtual and the real, technology and nature, as well as the visible and the invisible. Passersby will be able to 'planted' a digital tree and then watched it grow on the building.
