The artist created it in response to an increase in artworks inspired by simulated characteristics or near replicas of nature portrayed on a digital screen. <br/>A type of Stockholm Syndrome has emerged in the form of a greater comfort with confinement. With increasing interest in digital portals leading to the supposed “metaverse,” there is a growing disregard for the natural universe taking hold, contributing to the acceleration of human demise. Proxies for nature may distract from the urgency around the human species impending extinction. Yet anecdotal and neurobiological findings have made it clear to Lin that identifying oneself with and immersion within the natural world is essential to survival.<br/>During the livestream, chosen participants will be invited to enter a date which in turn provokes a set of predetermined actions performed in the landscape, leading into a final performance by the artist.
