Seven interactive installations trace the journey of a seed, from rooting to blossoming, inside HERO, a new venue on the Rink Level that’s dedicated to state-of-the-art sound and light experiences and events. Visitors are engaged from the moment they arrive at the Gates of New York’s Eden, and welcomed by a radiant avatar of Mother Earth. From the Mycelium Underground to the Mushroom Forest, on to Bloom Garden and The Seed Shed, the fusion of art, technology and the natural environment is present in unique, beautiful and innovative ways. 

Visitors will see Videri Canvases in a few locations throughout their journey, but they are the most prominent in The Seed Shed, where the Canvases provide a perfect medium to visually present the original flora and fauna native to the Elgin Gardens. The colorful sketches portrayed are referenced from NY State literature on the subject. These native plants are brought back to life through the vivid, sleek and elegant display of the sketches on multiple Canvases. It gives visitors the feeling of walking through an art gallery full of flowers. An experience that only Videri flush-mounted, self-contained Canvases can provide.
