From January through March, 2018, MadArt welcomes a new site-specific sculptural installation by Seattle-based artist Ginny Ruffner, in collaboration with new media artist Grant Kirkpatrick. Reforestation of the Imagination combines traditional glass and bronze sculpture with augmented reality. The artists use technology to overlay digital information onto sculptural objects, portraying two disparate worlds. The installation engages viewers’ curiosity as they navigate the space using handheld devices, exposing a forest regenerating from devastation. This imaginary and potential beauty revealed through augmented reality is the forest reimagining itself, a process which is not singular to a forest ecosystem, but also inherent to human creativity.
