The first instantiation of the Open Forest has been planted in an empty retail space at ABloc (Espoo, Finland), as part of a collaboration with CreaTures research project. The Collective will work for six months (November 2020 – April 2021) interviewing various forest stakeholders including passers by, forestry researchers, tree physiologists, artists, and forest data managers. Together we will explore different relationships with forests and environmental data.
Its pandemic time so all measures like masks and social distance are in place. The space is big and well ventilated, it also has good internet connection (=online interviews).
