Herrenrƶdchen is located in the north of Weimar, about 2.5 km from the city center. Besides the student apartments of Thuringia, numerous trees also inhabit here, which appear in different states with the change of seasons and climatic conditions. According to the semester's project theme: Observation- Experiment- Connection, the trees of Herrenrƶdchen are taken as the research object and used for further experiments.
The project is a visual installation based on a real-time video stream and collected environmental data. In it, the dynamics of leaves blowing in the wind and the floating values of light in the atmosphere are employed as two kinds of different realities. The trail of objects' movements and their active colors are left on the digital canvas by programming. The visual aesthetics are thus created and hopefully reflect the local seasonal changes and the time passing through a longer period of observation.

Initial idea
The original idea is to generate images by collecting environmental data: trees in nature act as "perceivers" of the environment, witnessing the seasons, climate, environmental changes and time flying. File:Idea-oec.pdf
