Forest Lab will have you listening to the trees

AS PART of Manipulate Festival, look out for the light installation on

The Meadows each evening for a couple of hours from 24 January to 4 February.

This is described as an “abstract light display” projected onto some of the trees.

The artist behind it - videographer Mettje Hunneman - plans to use an e-bike to transport her gear to The Meadows. The e-bike is equipped with projection gear, solar panel and all-terrain tyres and is designed to literally explore new territory - from urban green spaces to rural areas and deep inside the forest.

There is sound but it will only be audible to someone using headphones as the sound file is accessed using a QR code.

Since 2005 Hunneman has established a creative practice in Scotland and is now based at Custom House in Leith. She has previously produced large scale projections for Edinburgh's Hogmanay, Leith Theatre, Pianodrome, Edinburgh Mela and many Fringe shows.

Forest VIDEOLAB organises a series of unique site-specific public artworks using immersive video projections with original soundscapes.

The reason? To question our place in nature.
