The Secret Garden
Concept & Theme
The hidden magical gardens inside our living room wallpaper

The beauty and liveness of nature have been frozen inside our houses. Exotic patterns decorate our furniture and walls as nature is portrayed in a tidy and orderly manner. In this project, we would like to unleash and reveal the life of the gardens hidden inside our wallpapers as it comes to life in a magical spell. This immersive experience celebrates nature and the variety of landscapes in the world. Through the animation of the wallpaper, we move through different secret gardens.


Visitor Experience
An immersive sensory experience of surprise and magic as the surrounding wallpaper comes to life

Imagine you enter a classic Victorian living room, decorated with exotic wallpaper and heavy furniture. You are sitting on the comfy couch having a drink, and suddenly the bird in the wallpaper begins to move. Are your eyes deceiving you? Gradually the wallpaper comes to life and reveals the secret garden hidden inside the walls. You start to smell the flowers that you can see open and to actually experience the heat of the exotic environment to experience the environment at full. This exciting journey wakens up all the senses as we play around with lights, smell and temperature shifts in the room.

The Role of Light
Video projections are the main component of our project

Our Project will use both video projections and lights to create a dramatic shift as we leave reality and enter the world of the magical gardens. We would like to projet the wallpaper pattern on the walls of the room. We will manipulate the projection in order to give an impression of a real wallpaper. We will be using ML (Machine Learning) to develop the animations as a tool that allows giving continuity while transitioning between one garden and another. Once the audience is comfortable in the room we will slowly shift the light and start to animate the wallpaper video, surrounding the audience 360 degrees (if not possible, 2 walls at 90 degrees would work)
Therefore light and projection play a crucial role in our piece.

Machine Learning
Machine learning is a method of data analysis that automates analytical model building. It is a branch of artificial intelligence based on the idea that systems can learn from data, identify patterns and make decisions with minimal human intervention
The iterative aspect of machine learning is important because as models are exposed to new data, they are able to independently adapt. They learn from previous computations to produce reliable, repeatable decisions and results. It’s a science that’s not new – but one that has gained fresh momentum.
We are going to use machine learning to create smooth transitions between one garden and the other to create a link between one side of the world and the following, like if different corners in the world are smoothly linked.

The Technical Principle
Projectors, Thermostats, Perfume diffusers

Projectors Placement
The placement of the projectors would be ideally from behind the screen onto a screen of white spandex or equivalent behavior to give as much as possible the sense of light coming through the screen, as it happens in reality when light enters through the window.
In case it is not possible, due to the space needed for rear projection to place the projectors far enough to cover the whole surface in accordance with the lens available, we would agree to accomplish the project with front projection.
In this case, the projection could hit a real wall, preferably white or light grey, or a screen of spandex or muslin.

It was not possible to upload most of the video and footage because the system does not allow me to.
