Immerse yourself in the endangered Rushworth Forest on the lands of the Ngurai-illam Wurrung people in Victoria. Soar through the canopy, tunnel underground and gaze up at ancient tree trunks recreated from real-world environmental data in this mesmerising, surround-sound audiovisual experience.

Bringing together science, big data and audiovisual art, Ghost Trees offers a new way to connect to nature and reflect on our place within it – and our impacts on it.

Created by Australian artists James McGrath and Gary Sinclair using data captured by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network.
