Canadian artist and architect Philip Beesley has created some amazing interactive installations.

His latest work ‘Hylozoic Soil‘ takes inspiration from hylozoism, the belief that all matter has life.

It looks like a synthetic plant-like structure, a kind of forest with arfiticial trees and plants whose branches and leaves react to the visitors presence and movements.

I really like the installation’s organic and living behavior, it creates emotion and affect in the visitor’s mind. It makes me think of those primitive deep blue sea phosphorescent creatures.
