As much as society has become inundated with messages about the importance of health and the environment, this information still hasn't fully sunk in, and that is why art installations like the Natural Systems Domination are extremely helpful. What is essentially an outdoor office overrun by nature, this installation encourages workers to reconnect with their environment and be active during breaks.
Created by Tres Birds Workshop for KEEN’s Recess Revolution Tour, which was designed in response to many American's digital and sedentary lifestyles, the Natural Systems Domination art installation embraced the interaction of passersby and participants by providing activities such as tether ball. Fun and original, this artistic outdoor office is located in downtown Denver, Colorado, and is sure to encourage healthier living.
