Gallery Duderstadt Center Map

The Tree of Eternity is an immersive, interactive installation that explores remembrance, loss, and the enduring presence of those we have loved.

The installation centers on a projected tree surrounded by interactive terminal pods that control its structure.

Visitors approach interactive pods positioned throughout the gallery space, where they are invited to recall memories of people or experiences throughout their lives. Depending on the kiosk they interact with, different effects will be present on the projected tree.

As more visitors’ memories are inputted, the tree’s visuals adapt and change form, demonstrating that our memories persist with us. Projection mapping creates ethereal visuals accompanied by atmospheric audio. Even when visitors aren't actively engaging with the kiosks, the system generates ambient transmissions, suggesting that the tree—and the memories it embodies—continues to live and grow.

The installation creates a dialogue between life and death, presence and absence, individual memory and collective remembrance, inviting participants to contribute to a living memorial that persists beyond any single moment of grief or reflection.
