Years
YEARS from Bartholomäus Traubeck on Vimeo.
Bartholomäus Traubeck's record player turns the rings in a cross section of a tree into music. Year rings are interpreted into sound.
"A tree’s year rings are analysed for their strength, thickness and rate of growth. This data serves as basis for a generative process that outputs piano music. It is mapped to a scale which is again defined by the overall appearance of the wood (ranging from dark to light and from strong texture to light texture). The foundation for the music is certainly found in the defined ruleset of programming and hardware setup, but the data acquired from every tree interprets this ruleset very differently."

Tree Socks


Suzanne Tidwell and Beth Newfeld temporarily covered six 20-foot tree stumps at a busy intersection in Seattle with giant winter-themed knitted socks adorned with embroidered snowflakes. They will knit Spring socks, Summer socks, Fall socks and then the trees will be cut down.

The Tree
A 10 meter high real magnolia tree planted in the center of Chile's National Stadium where dictator Pinochet tortured political prisoners 30 years ago. During a whole week the de-contextualized stadium was open to the public as a park. A cathartic soccer match was played before 15,000 people, with the tree in the middle was the closure of the piece.
