AWEN
A WALK ENCOUNTERING NATURE
AWEN is a self-guided walk developing a deeply personal
encounter with the environment beyond human scale.
Interactive art, sound, movement and play are prompted by global climate data and
science.
You will be able to start your walk from anywhere in the world.
As you move through your surroundings, you will receive poetic and playful prompts
to
your smartphone.
This is a free pilot experience – help us with leaving feedback after your
walk
to inform future development.
You can find our more about the layers of the AWEN journey here.
