Deep in the beech forests of the Jizera Mountains, something stirs...
The eternal movement of fallen branches may finally take to the sky.

What began as an experiment has become a kinetic object — built from branches, wires, and code.
Its body is made of real wood. Its motion mimics the flapping of a drone’s wings.
As if it were an ancient ancestor. A prototype born of the forest.

The aim was to create a scenographic object capable of interacting live with the performance.
Using an ESP microcontroller and MQTT communication, we built a system that can be triggered remotely — or in real time.

In its next phase, the object begins to respond to gestures.
It senses motion in the space and adjusts its behaviour accordingly.
A simple movement can spark reaction.
A performer steps forward — and the branches begin to stir.

The object listens. And responds.

It balances between scenography, sculpture, and machine. Between choreography and circuitry.
Our goal is to let the space breathe — to make it responsive to presence, change, and impulse.
Each response is unique, yet rooted in a clear internal logic. Every movement is a small demonstration of what happens when nature meets technology.

A branch that flaps like a drone.
A machine that still remembers the forest.
