Phorest is a large-scale immersive light installation by 1024 architecture that blurs the boundary between nature and technology. Set in the open air, this digital land-art piece transforms a rectangular grid of 500 bamboo poles into a luminous forest—one not grown from soil and seeds, but from structured light and sustainable materials.

At nightfall, beams of laser light sweep across the organic architecture, creating flowing waves of photons that move rhythmically over the bamboo. The resulting choreography evokes the slow, meditative pulse of ocean tides or wind through tall grass. As an installation, Phorest merges eco-conscious design with advanced digital scenography, offering a multisensory experience that reconnects viewers with both nature’s fragility and technology’s expressive potential.

This site-specific artwork functions as both contemplative space and performative object. The bamboo poles—natural yet geometrically arranged—serve as a tactile screen for the laser animations, turning a forest into a programmable sculpture. By choosing bamboo, a renewable and rapidly growing resource, 1024 architecture makes a quiet but powerful statement on sustainability in contemporary art and design.

Phorest is more than a spectacle—it is a poetic gesture inviting audiences to reflect on the delicate interplay between the artificial and the natural, the organic and the algorithmic, the ephemeral and the enduring. It positions light not only as a medium of aesthetic beauty, but also as a tool for ecological storytelling.
