forest documents, Reading Room

Accompanying forest documents, a reading room in collaboration with librarian-artist John Latour, provides a number of  publications and documents from our Elastic Spaces interdisciplinary research team, on a diagonal to a large format video projection. The other side of the free-standing wall provides a viewing room with benches, for immersion into an old growth forest, through a spatialized video projection in stereoscopic 3D (S3).
The Elastic Spaces research presented on the Reading Room tables includes the following: publications from a number of researchers we worked with over a seven to nine year period of time, a number of documents from the Ecoforestry Institute Society, and a forthcoming artist book memoir from Elastic Spaces Press by Pacheedaht Elder William (Bill) Jones, Chronicles of the Forest: From the Walbran to Fairy Creek | What the Forest Needs, Our Heart Needs (2025). The forest ‘documents’ for viewers to browse and immerse themselves and be in conversation with include the 2 large format video projections located back to back on the free-standing wall, as well as the reading materials situated on the 2 tables located on a diagonal to the 2D projection.
