This proposal outlines a project to reconnect urban populations with nature through locative media installations. It notes that by 2030, 90% of people will live in cities and have become disassociated from the natural environment. The objective is to use locative art to bridge the divide between urban and rural experiences. The method will analyze the theoretical relationship between urban and rural spaces, study how to communicate between nature, media and cities through relevant artworks, and design installations informed by scientific analysis. The expected results are public artworks that use science to connect people emotionally with nature and address the disconnect many current artworks have from audiences. A timeline is provided for the research, design, testing and exhibition of the project over several months.
