Vem abraçar uma árvore* na instalação interactiva Hug@ree que inaugura hoje no Pop Up City Lisboa 2010!
Hug@ree* é uma instalação interactiva que proporciona uma experiência de cumplicidade entre os seres urbanos e a floresta. Os participantes abraçam uma árvore real, accionando o seu registo no mundo virtual para posterior interacção.
Desenvolvido com a colaboração de membros dos AZ LAbs e correspondentes locais, Hug@ree integra o projecto RTiVISS [Real-Time Video Interactive Systems for Sustainability] uma investigação experimental reflectindo activamente em torno de questões: como promover uma atitude construtiva face à dinâmica destrutiva dos incêndios que agravam as alterações climáticas? Pode a arte criar consciência e respeito pela natureza?
Esta experiência imersiva proporciona a interacção com as árvores e vídeos de árvores em tempo real, contribuindo para trazer assuntos ambientais à cultura urbana. + info »

Here's some more iterations on the Hug@ree interactive installation tests and implementation for Pop Up for Pop Up Lisbon 2010.
This time, me and Pedro went to the Pop Up City venue Palácio de Santa Catarina (officially, "Palácio de Verride" ;)) for the most diverse final arrangements prior to the last days before the opening.
Take a look at the Hug@ree PopupSetup Flickr set for this stage, where you will get a comprehensive photo report on the work done and have a glympse of what is to come... more soon! :)
A big *thank you hug* to all the "Hug@ree at 10/10/10 Global work party" contributors!
