Please join us for a reception celebrating the opening of Ghost Trees, a digital art show presented in augmented reality which celebrates the lives of five iconic Arboretum trees. Artist Sonia Ralston has skillfully recreated these beloved trees as 3-D digital models: visitors can scan a QR code and see these trees superimposed on the landscape behind them, experiencing them as they once stood.
Timeline for the reception:
- 1:00–2:00pm: Refreshments and rendering viewings in the lecture hall.
- 2:00–2:20pm: Artist talk
- 2:30–3:00pm: Half mile walk in landscape to view two Ghost Trees in their original settings.
Accessibility: The Hunnewell Lecture Hall is wheelchair accessible. The outdoor portion will be on paved, level roads.
Audience: This program is appropriate for all audiences.
