Kew Gardens has brought one of its oldest trees, the Lucombe oak, into the digital age with 'Of the Oak,' a striking six-metre-tall LED installation. This art piece showcases a 3D model of the oak, originally planted in 1762, cycling through the seasons in a captivating 12-minute display. The installation reacts dynamically to visitor movement, featuring animated light bursts across its surface. Created by Marshmallow Laser Feast, the project involved collaboration with Kew's scientists using advanced technologies like LiDAR and ground-penetrating radar. Visitors can experience this compelling artwork from May 2 to September 28.
