Fleeting Things is about synthesizing nature and technology into an experience that combines natural and digital, light and sound, and nostalgia and the now, into a project that aspires to compel a conscious awareness to be present.

Using interaction design, and creative programming, the intention is to create an experience to invoke curiosity, presence, and judgment-free creativity, that immerses nature with digital.
