THE BLUE SCREEN O F THE FUTURE Visit DREAMTFOREST and send your short story to:

“ PLANT A TREE. 1,668 TREES. 1,668 PLANTERS. ONE TREE EACH. YOUR TREE. “ Become one of the planters of a PEACE TREE. Planting a tree is a symbol of growth, nature, health and peace, but it also points to the future - - towards a future where humans live in a symbiosis with nature. [1] What we experience now in our society is often quite the opposite. We sit at computers. We live in social networks. “I made 1,000 friends in FaceBook and I am still lonely. Will it change in Facebook 3D?” [Anonymous]. Navah Dreams, the pseudonym Liliana Papadopoulou uses for her art, brings PEACE MECHANISMS to us by mirroring it: it all happens virtually. It happens in the Internet, in a walkable 3D environment made for the arts. This form of inter-media art experience [2] is called immersive interactive art – IMMERSIVIA [3]. Enter her world as a planter and plant a tree. Let the tree grow by visiting and taking care of it. Talk to other planters or call a gardener [4]. World opens on July 5th, 20:00 h Santorini time – worldwide.

" ΦΥΤΕΨΤΕ ΕΝΑ ΔΕΝΤΡΟ ΔΕΝΤΡΑ, 1668 ΦΥΤΕΥΤΕΣ. ΕΝΑ ΔΕΝΤΡΟ Ο ΚΑΘΕΝΑΣ. ΤΟ ΔΙΚΟ ΣΟΥ ΔΕΝΤΡΟ. " Γίνετε ένας απο τους φυτευτές ενός ΔΕΝΤΡΟΥ ΕΙΡΗΝΗΣ. Το να φυτέψεις ένα δέντρο συμβολίζει την ανάπτυξη, την φύση, την υγεία και την ειρήνη και μας δείχνει το μέλλον. Ένα μέλλον όπου οι άνθρωποι συμβιώνουν μαζί με την φύση [ 1 ]. Αυτό όμως που ζούμε στην κοινωνία μας, είναι ακριβώς το αντίθετο. Καθόμαστε και δουλεύουμε σε υπολογιστές, η κοινωνική μας ζωή εξαρτάται απ' τα μέσα κοινωνικής δικτύωσης. Απέκτησα φίλους στο Facebook όμως ακόμα νιώθω μόνος. Θα άλλαζε αυτή η κατάσταση άραγε, σ'ένα τρισδιάστατο Facebook; (Aνώνυμος) Η Navah Dreams, καλλιτεχνικό όνομα της Παπαδοπούλου Λιλιάνας, φέρνει τους ΗΧΑΝΙΣΜΟΥΣ ΕΙΡΗΝΗΣ σε εμάς σε εικονική πραγματικότητα. Όλα αυτά συμβαίνουν στο Internet, σε ενα τρισδιάστατο και εξερευνίσιμο περιβάλλον που δημιουργήθηκε ειδικά για τις τέχνες. Αυτή η εναλλακτική μορφή καλλιτεχνικής εμπειρίας [2] ονομάζεται "IMMERSIVIA" [ 3 ]. Μπείτε λοιπόν σαν φυτευτής στο κόσμο αυτό και φυτέψτε ένα δέντρο. Παρακολουθήστε το να μεγαλώνει κάθε φορά που θα το επισκέπτεστε [4]. Μιλήστε με άλλους φυτευτές ή κηπουρούς. Ο κόσμος αυτός ανοίγει στις 5 Ιουλίου και στις 20:00 το βράδυ, τοπική ώρα Σαντορίνης.

[1] About Arbor day [Day of the Tree], now in 40 countries: While Napoleon was ravaging Europe with his ambition, there lived in the village in the Sierra de Gata a priest, don Ramón Vacas Roxo, who, according to the chronicles, "convinced of the importance of trees for health, hygiene, decoration, nature, environment and customs, decides to plant trees and give a festive air." He drafted a manifesto in defense of the trees that was sent to surrounding towns to spread the love and respect for nature, and he also recommended planting trees locally.

A contribution to DREAMT FOREST supported by UNIVERSAL GAZETTE established in Philadelphia 1797 Write your story … Far away in the galaxy, there was a planet with beautiful forests of all kinds. Oak tree forests, rain forests, mixed tree forests, and many more. Everyone was happy to use the forest trees to build canoes and ships, to make furniture, and to build houses. A lot of useful things were made out of the wood on this planet. There was also a lot of wind and sunshine available for heating and electricity, but wasn’t used. Instead, the inhabitants decided to burn oil. For some time, it worked well enough, but then it ended. Oil became too expensive, so people started burning trees for heat. Now, forests no longer exist on this planet, just some trees cultivated in glasshouses, placed in rows, packed together. There is a long artistic tradition on this planet, so the glasshouses were named “dreamt forests”. A saying evolved, “Let´s meet in the dreamt forest.” The trees needed protection from visitors, just like paintings by Rembrandt or Picasso. Thick frames of glass were installed, but it was already too late. An infection took the last of the trees, as they had weakened over the years. Biologists had warned them. “In glasshouses they will not reproduce.” So, this planet sent a call to outer space for help, to planet DRON7. Years before, a philanthropist, SR Hadden, rented a space freighter mounted with huge domes. Self-repair units were developed and robots were manufactured by the finest designers the planet could offer: Ren Yifu, Feathers Boa and Yooma Mayo. SPONSOR The name of the mission was Silent Running. Its destination: DRON7. We all know it from THE ARTEFACT, that Zeno Astronen was the first to decode the signals, so SR Hadden decided to plot a course to DRON7. Neruval became captain of the mission.

Meet and chat with a chatbot like Eugene Goostman or Ramona 4.2 or even with Neruval, the owl AI -- inworld. You may ask questions like: How many trees are in the box the Garden Avatar holds in his hand? Why is this so? What does the number stand for? Why the saying evolved, “Let´s meet in dreamt forest” and not “dream forest”? And so on… Find out what DRON7 is all about, where it was mentioned before … Then send your story to Happy storytelling!
