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.
