LANDARTINTHEFOREST

Land art is a powerful tool to stimulate creativity, to develop team spirit, to work in nature and to understand some facts of the topic of the project. Being in wonderful nature and fresh air we had the chance to create some “masterpieces” and to assimilate a method easy to use back home.

Our art piece represent the often dreaded window of Zoom/Google meet or whatever else schools and organisations used for roughly 2 years in order to hold meetings or classes. However, the rocks are all in different colours, shapes, and sizes, with different angles or smoothness. This represents that even if in real life we were mostly all the same sized squares with cameras often turned off, we all nevertheless come in different colours, shapes, and sizes much like the rocks do. It is a metaphor, and very poetic.

We created an installation to describe how the signal is transferred from the source to beneficiaries and to make clear that if the message is not clear or the ways are corrupted then information is lost

We used materials found in the forest (without harming the nature) like branches, leaves, stones, dry fruits, even pieces of garbage to express our perception about why “virtual tools” are important in our youth work. Our “pieces of art” expressed what competences should have a youth worker to manage virtual tools and how important are the connections between every actor involved in a project: management, participants, partners, beneficiaries.
