September 30 - December 31, 2004
With Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art, Oslo Metro and Siemens

The concept for Ultra-Nature was to transform the subway passage into a "virtual garden" in which commuters could discover and interact with virtual plants and flowers that grow and unfold in real time. Ultra-nature was an interactive virtual reality installation which was projected along 1.35 meter high sections on both sides of a 20-meter long passage. These virtual flowers and plants inclined to the right or left in a gesture of reverence to the spectators as they advanced along the passage. A series of 16 infra-red sensors (cf. specifications below) were deployed within the passageway. This "art spectacular" required a total of 12 video projectors (six per side) and six PCs (three per side). Additional equipment, such as PCs, video projectors and sensors, were housed in glass cases which also served as a projection surface.
