Radical Sensibility is an artistic research project tracing the impacts of industrial forestry and climate change on Denmark’s ancient oak trees.

These thousand-year-old trees captivate as objects of myth, silent witnesses to centuries of societal transformation and embodiment of humanity’s contradictory relationship with the non-human environment.

By intertwining 3D mapping, spatial analysis, and interactive storytelling, the project creates a visual language that is both familiar and uncanny. The trees, captured in hyperreal detail, are immortalized in the digital, timeless forest. This preservation serves as a poignant reminder of their physical impermanence, as though we are gazing back from a distant future where these ancient beings exist only as fragments of code.

Radical Sensibility is supported by the Danish Arts Foundation.
