This video was part of Polygonal Forest, a virtual exhibit put together by Fundación Mar Adentro, in the context of Arts Electrónica Festival 2021

Fundación Mar Adentro (FMA) is a private non-profit foundation created in 2011 which, among other things, creates collaborative experiences between art and science to develop knowledge, awareness and action for nature.

The video uses footage from the Pehuén Forest in southern Chile. Located in the Andean Araucania, the Pehuén Forest is a privately protected area (PPA) managed by Fundación Mar Adentro. It was formed in 2006 with the aim of protecting ecosystems that have a high territorial anthropic pressure, vulnerable and susceptible to the environmental forces of climate change and with a high ecosystem value such as araucaria forests. In this way, we carry out a territorial management plan and interdisciplinary research program to promote a watershed conservation approach.
