CONCRETE OASIS

AN IMMERSIVE & INTERACTIVE INSTALLATION BY USC STUDENTS

REWILDING

By Lillian Lin & Ian Wang

This immersive installation imagines a state of harmony between concrete and jungle.

Using 1 video channel and 1 audio input, co-artists Lillian Zunrou Lin and Ian Wang created this projection art, which pans through a panoramic footage of an unfinished site at the Frank Gehry-designed The Grand LA. As each loop ends and restarts, the space transforms into a rainforest on the skeleton of the original building, evoking a future present where nature delicately reclaims an industrialized city.
