ephemera ONE

•Elements Of Nature• uses a calculated list of plants native to the Alpine flora as its starting point.

According to the article ‚Long-term monitoring of high-elevation terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems in the Alps – a five-year synthesis‘ published in eco.mont (Vol. 14), the species Gnaphalium supinum, Polytrichastrum sexangulare, Salix herbacea, Soldanella pusilla, and Helictotrichon versicolor serve as key indicators of climatic warming, shifting their growth along elevation gradients as the climate changes.

•Elements Of Nature• opens a conversation on how human habitats, garments, and artificial objects can participate in the interconnected web of life.

This inquiry guides our exploration into bringing eco-data-driven art into physical reality. Following the Virtual Chapter of the series, we’ve created a collection of wearable sculptures inspired by eco-data from the Alpine region. The designs are based on plants from the Tyrolean Alps that serve as indicators of climate change.

These nature-responsive garments, augmented with a digital layer, aim to blend the virtual and physical, the organic and inorganic.
