The Danger Tree

  • Faye Lawrence

The Danger Tree, commemorated World War I’s most iconic poets using the latest technology in augmented reality to weave poetry, animation and music into traditional art. Each painting in the poignant exhibition told an immersive story of the soldiers who fought and fell in the Great War between 1914 and 1918. Retuning to Liverpool’s Pier Head Village the exhibition was part of Liverpool’s waterfront with an action-packed summer programme of culture and entertainment, including this modern visual experience produced by Firebrand, the team who built the Harry Potter Experience and working with Malven Art Ltd and Crown Talent artists Marc Marot and Scarlett Raven. This was a free immersive experience for the public and ran successfully for three months.
