If Trees Had Spines
Jennifer Steinkamp is an installation artist who works with video and new media in order to explore ideas about architectural space, motion, and perception. (She also contributed imagery to the U2 concert tours PopMart and Elevation.) York production/design prof Ian Garrett recommended we have a look at her work with digitally animated trees for the Dream's many forest scenes.
