​​​​​​​​​“Green Dose” features CGI landscapes inspired by the iconic Val di Mello region, accompanied by a pink noise soundscape simulating water. It explores the scientific theory ‘Attention Restoration Theory’, suggesting that immersing yourself in a natural landscape that invites exploration and novelty, reduces stress by engaging the brain’s default mode network.

​

In the frame of recent mental health study recommendations of 120 minutes of nature exposure a week to reduce stress, visitors are invited to immerse themselves and get their Green Dose of the day of exactly 17 minutes and 8 seconds.

 

Through this absurd framing, the work encourages to reflect on the broader implications of reducing nature to something that can be consumed or prescribed like vitamin supplements, a dialogue about humanity’s increasingly artificial relationship with the natural world and the consequences of such detachment.
