Artificial Landscape
For many, getting out in nature is to experience being away from the modern world of noise, technology, and even other people. Yet if you go to any national park, especially during the summer, the parks are full of people. The landscape becomes over crowded with visitors who all have the same idea. To accommodate, we build hotels enabled with wifi, tourist lodges, paved roads, and other amenities to make the visit comfortable. What is beneficial for one is structural violence for another.
We homogenize safe versions of nature under our control.
We enjoy the benefits of nature without having to actually be there how it naturally exists.
We don't only bring the modern world out into nature, but we also bring nature into our world. You don't have to travel to the ocean or live near one to experience being 'under the sea’ and you don't have to go far to experience a mini oasis. We are innovating water parks with wave pools to create fun beach atmospheres in the middle of the desert or mountains.
We simulate these ideal environments to enjoy nature.
It’s safe, it’s clean, it’s air-conditioned. This isn't how nature really is. We manufacture and manipulated the landscape for our own gain.
We've captured the essence of nature without all the risks or dangers.
