You’re floating through a galaxy of trees, starting out within a patch of ghostly plants that magically replenishes itself, all from the from comfort of your own browser. This is the newest iteration of artist Vince McKelvie‘s Gradient Forest. In the previous version from the artist and augmented reality graffiti mastermind, which was an interactive music video for the band Y E Λ R S, viewers rocketed through the luminous, geometric virtual environment at full speed. This time around, the journey takes a more comfortable pace, faux fauna morphing into comets of color perfect for this afternoon’s inevitable virtual vacation.
