About this app
paper trees can be viewed in Karlsruhe (Germany) and in Paris/Gentilly (France).
The tree, an important element in biodiversity, is placed in relation to paper consumption in the artwork. Augmented reality is used to create virtual linden trees (Tilia cordata) and paper stacks. The paper stacks show the relationship of the tree as a producer of raw materials. For the global climate, the consumption of wood – for a daily product like paper – plays an important role, because every 5th tree is felled just for paper. In Germany, 55 kg of graphic paper, such as copy paper, is consumed per person and per year. The 12 virtual trees are therefore only enough for the annual needs of about 60 persons.
With AR, paper trees visualises the connection between nature's resources and our own consumption in a new way.
