The Singing Tree: An Interactive Installation

Technology, art and inspiration have combined into a glorious interactive Christmas tree in the halls of the  world’s largest museum of decorative arts and design, the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in London. Every year, the museum commissions a designer to create a Christmas tree for the Museum’s Grand Entrance. This year, it’s the set designer Es Devlin who has installed a mesmerizing, constantly changing audiovisual Christmas tree, to which you are asked to contribute. You don’t have to be in the city to do so. You can actually do it online! Watch the video below to see how this year’s tree was made, where Es Devlin’s inspiration came from and how people actually transform the tree. For more information visit the relevant page and if you feel like it, contribute your own wish-word to the tree!

Well, we have been there before. Haven’t we? I know sometimes it feels too tight or too tied up…

Yet, there is always something new to discover and experience. So, keep it rolling really high…
