GONDWANA

THIS FOREST IS CHANGING . . . DO YOU SEE IT?

A durational VR experience that runs over 24 hours, Gondwana is a constantly-evolving virtual ecosystem chronicling the possible futures of the world's oldest rainforest, the Daintree.

Like the rainforest itself, Gondwana is a system of possibilities, pushing the limits of technology to create an unparalleled experience of time and the natural world. Weather, seasons, and biodiversity shift and change as users freely explore a vast map of wild rivers, rugged gorges and ancient trees. But a broader narrative stirs below: over the 24 hours, the rainforest procedurally degenerates, fed by climate data projections. The only salve to this seemingly inevitable decline is people - the more time an audience spends in Gondwana each 24-hour showing, the more resilient to change the forest becomes.

Each showing of this online-native event is unrepeatable and speculative: a quiet meditation on time, change and loss in an irreplaceable ecosystem.
