Artificial wandering islands - Garden of Mechatronics, Bionics and Artificial Life

The video was made to illustrate one of a number of proposed interventions for a student project exploring nature, leisure, industry and chaotic systems at Trentham Gardens, Stoke on Trent.

The scheme intends to take the ideas already explored by Capability Brown further by utilising modern technology to transform visitor's perception of the landscape while still preserving the existing rich complex historical fabric of the site.

The islands move very slowly, it is the intention that visitors to the park can remotely control the position of the islands, constantly creating new vistas and landscapes.

The project aimed to be a catalyst for the growth of new and existing emerging industrial and leisure activities adding to the social and economic regeneration of the potteries.

A more detailed description of the artificial wandering islands can be found under the projects menu on my website: http://www.steve-russell.co.uk
