The Wishing Tree

The Wishing Tree installation is an AI-built, interactive, video-based artwork featuring an animated tree that serves as a conduit for visitors' wishes. Visitors can enter their heartfelt desires and dreams by scanning a QR code, which takes them to a form to enter a wish.

A wish made for love.

Upon form submission, the backend code intricately weaves through the text, identifying keywords and phrases related to various wish categories to return a related result.

For example, if a person wishes for love, the tree's animation changes, responding and resonating with the visitor's sentiments. Through this interactive video installation art, I invite viewers to connect with the strength and resilience symbolized by the tree while inspiring them to contemplate their hopes, dreams, and the interconnectedness of our collective human experiences.
