Nature Inspiring Modern Artworks

Walter De Maria's ‘The Lightning Field’

Olafur Eliasson’s ‘Waterfall’ (2004)

'Raindrop' by Chicago Artist Stacee Kalmanovsky

As technology becomes integral to our lives, our perception of nature changes. Digital art, interactive installations, and other forms of art are transforming our perception of nature, elevating our senses, and providing new light to old things. People are increasingly attending intimate gatherings that harmonize with nature through techno, electronic music, and art, serving as critical hubs for like-minded people to explore the convergence of sound, creativity, and environmental consciousness.

According to Edgar Dale, the brain only remembers 10% of what it reads and 20% of what it hears, but remembers 90% of what it simulates. Experiential communication makes it easier to spread messages than reading or hearing. Digital art installations create mesmerizing environments that capture onlookers' attention and the intriguing thoughts behind art objects. Many artists implement sustainability principles in their unique interactive art installations, addressing the environmental impact of technology and addressing the concerns of environmentalists.

Nature Inspiring Modern Artworks

Contemporary artists have been incorporating technology into their artworks, drawing inspiration from previous works. Robert Smithson's earthwork Spiral Jetty, built from mud, salt crystals, and basalt rocks, is considered an inspiration for Walter De Maria's "Lightning Field" (1977). 

Our digital installation "The Warp" pays homage to Anthony Howe's kinetic masterpieces with 36 screens aligned in an octagonal frame, creating a mesmerizing vortex. These screens can be used as art pieces or as models for real-time information display. Art has evolved throughout history, from primitive rock paintings to clay sculptures and pottery, and now to techno art. Some of the most talked-about art installations continue to attract attention today.

Walter De Maria's ‘The Lightning Field’

"The Lightning Field" is a 1977 sculpture in western New Mexico, featuring 400 polished stainless-steel poles 2 inches in diameter. The sculpture creates an illusion when lightning strikes on the poles, earning its name. Commissioned by the Dia Art Foundation, the field's experience doesn't depend on lightning occurrences; visitors are encouraged to spend time in the field, especially during sunset and sunrise, to fully appreciate the creation.

Olafur Eliasson’s ‘Waterfall’ (2004)

Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson created a stunning giant waterfall at the Palace of Versailles' Park in 2004. The waterfall appears to flow from nowhere, hanging midair, and is accompanied by a giant steel tower with pipes that carry water to the top and eject it out. The French setting adds to the mystery, as visitors walk down the palace garden. Eliasson has never revealed the exact dimensions of the giant yellow tower, aiming to make each visitor's experience unique.

'Raindrop' by Chicago Artist Stacee Kalmanovsky

Chicago-based artist Stacee Kalmanovsky created an installation called 'Raindrop' in 2005, which uses grass droplets suspended from a skylight roof to create an impression of rainfall. The installation is so lively that visitors often mistake it for real. The space also illuminates as light plays, with reflections of glass beads dancing on the wall. This artwork demonstrates how the representation of natural phenomena with technology can inspire imagination, provoke thought, and stir excitement among people.

In a nutshell:

Techno-art and immersive installations are transforming our perception of our surroundings, with artists using state-of-the-art technologies like augmented and virtual reality to create surreal environments. At Sentient By Elysian, we construct immersive spaces incorporating digital sculptures and techno art, aiming to elevate exhibitions, galleries, and events in a meaningful and sustainable way. Their visionary approach allows spectators to experience nature in new ways, fostering a deeper connection to the natural world.
