Future Fest: The Garden
NESTA 2018 Festival: THE GARDEN — an indoor immersive experience at Tobacco Docks that asked whether a lighter touch, not more glass and steel, might be the deeper future.
We created an immersive indoor experience at Tobacco Docks in London for the future-thinking charity Nesta. For their 2018 festival, THE GARDEN explored a tactile and engaging journey through a dystopian urban landscape — one that highlighted the modern need to control the environment rather than work with it.
The garden led visitors through an exploration of urban ecology — and how a lighter touch might lead us to a deeper, more earthy future than tomorrow's current visions of glass and steel.
"A lighter touch may lead us to a deeper, more earthy future than tomorrow's current visions of glass and steel."
The immersive experience became a platform for pioneering speakers who threaded their own narratives into the space, leaving a wide audience with much to think on.
