The Adam Project

A message to the future, for Netflix

> A project for Netflix, with Espadaysantacruz.

A message to the future, sent up a tree.

An installation for the launch of Netflix's The Adam Project. A forest of 25 six-metre trees became a time capsule: visitors scanned a QR code on a tree, recorded a voice message to the future and watched a pulse of light climb to the lamp at the top.

The trees then played the messages back as a shifting soundscape, in Madrid's Plaza de España in March 2022. Each tree carried custom embedded hardware that captured, stored and played back the recordings, linked to a web app on the visitor's phone.
