More information from organisers:

This spring and summer, visitors to Kew Gardens can experience a one-of-a-kind immersive art installation that celebrates the oak tree as a vital hub of biodiversity. 

The ground-breaking artwork is the creation of world-renowned experiential artist collective Marshmallow Laser Feast. They have had global success with their previous work exhibiting at the likes of the Saatchi Gallery, The Barbican, Cannes Film Festival and the ACMI.  

The newly commissioned artwork located within Kew’s landscape is massive in scale at 6 metres. It focuses on the inner workings of the Lucombe oak at Kew Gardens, creating a ‘digital double’ of the tree by using extensive real-world data captured in collaboration with Kew’s scientists and horticulturists. 

The experience is multisensory and interactive – as a visitor, you can impact the motions of the tree on screen by moving in front of it.
