Fractal Forest
The exhibition consists of ten fascinating installations and treatments that can be found in a Fractal Forest: a digital environment filled with special patterns that repeat themselves endlessly. These patterns, called fractals, are also found in trees, leaves, cauliflowers, clouds, and snowflakes. They have a calming effect on your brain, similar to the sense of peace you feel when walking through a forest.
While social media often traps us in repetitive patterns, this digital forest uses repetition to help you relax. The fractals create a soothing atmosphere that promotes growth and enhances your well-being. The fractals in the forest were developed by mathematician and Next Nature fellow Jules Ruis. Jules brought fractals from 2D to 3D with his ‘Fractal Trigeometry’. These designs are based on the infinite repetition of shapes.
Breathing Session
The colorful forest literally breathes with you. Every half hour a breathing session, created by artist Geoffrey Lillemon, begins, bringing together sound, visuals, space and light to connect body and environment.
This digital inspiration session promotes mental relaxation, reduces stress and stimulates focus and creativity. It is an invitation to recognize, understand and actively manage your relationship with technology so that you can integrate it into your daily life in a healthy way.
Dancing in the Frame
More and more young people move within the small frame of their phone screen, especially on TikTok. Even while dancing, they unconsciously stay within an imaginary frame to create the perfect video.
Dancing in the Frame brings this to life. Step into a life-sized phone and experience the limits of the digital frame yourself. Sensors in the frame detect when you move beyond the edges and trigger a signal. This way, you’ll feel how your freedom is restricted by the screen—even when you think you're moving freely.
