Kew Gardens’ historic oak reimagined as digital artwork

Kew (Organization)

The Lucombe oak, planted in 1762, now lives on as Of the Oak — a six-metre-tall LED installation that presents a 3D model of the tree cycling through the seasons in a 12-minute loop.

The display reacts to visitor movement, with bursts of pixels animating its surface.

Created by artist collective Marshmallow Laser Feast, the work draws on advanced technologies including LiDAR and ground-penetrating radar, used in collaboration with Kew’s scientists.

The installation stands near where the oak originally grew and will be on show from 2 May to 28 September.
