Forest Beings creates a sensual environment with more-than-human actors to advocate a broader, interconnected understanding of the world that includes humans, animals, plants, technology, and the environment in a forest bath experience. GAN systems select feeds from sensory-stimulated archives and play them as scented narrations to trigger embodied knowledge and memories of nature walks. Visitors can then record their personal memory and contribute to the testing of the GAN sets.
