Students are exploring the intersections of ecology and virtual reality, and architecture and dance in the studios Compiled Germination and When Movement Creates Environment. In partnership with the Central Square Dance Complex, students are exploring architecture through movement, and will create installations designed through choreographic stories. In Compiled Germination, students are collaborating with the Arnold Arboretum to create virtual reality experiences that engage users in the origins of plant and tree species, the future of flora in a changing climate, or the future of urban-nature interactions.
