in collaboration with Vikram Tank and Drew Burrows
Fairy Dust is a project to encourage the use of outside spaces at night, provide a night activity in New York that happens outdoors and puts people next to nature. It consists of a 1 mile trail in the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens.
People arrive at this site, namely through the Flatbush Ave entrance (Q subway line) and enter into a magic world. A sensor – activated network that makes trees light up to indicate the way through a mile-long path. The light from the trees resembles fairy dust and illuminates the area enough for people to observe plants while making for a unique experience.
Along the way they see the Rock Garden, the Rose Garden, the Lilac Collection, the Native Floral Garden, the Cherry Esplanade and the Herb Garden before exiting at the parking lot entrance.
This project aims to give people a different night activity. Enjoying a nature experience with a technological enhancement while spending time outdoors and use a great space, the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens.
This project works with solar cells and batteries.
