Gondwana
Gondwana is a perennially evolving virtual ecosystem that explores the possible futures of the world’s oldest rainforest, the Daintree in Australia. The surrounding environment shifts dynamically as you roam freely throughout the vast landscape of ancient trees and unfamiliar animals.
But a broader story unfolds in the background: as the day goes by, the rainforest is declining, in line with climate change projections from 1990 to 2090. The only salvation for its seemingly inevitable fate is humanity. As the audience spends more time in Gondwana, the forest becomes more resilient. Each new day, the forest is reborn and new possibilities for its future come to light. Gondwana is a meditation on time, change, and climate action, all viewed through the life of an ancient, priceless forest.
