Our Energetic Planet by 1iing Heaney uses CGI, video, and print to explore the convergence of geology, folklore, and the digital realm. Developed with material and color testing for a VR film, this project investigates how ancient natural forms like rocks and plants assume new life within virtual space. It prompts reflection on how digital media can shape our perception of authenticity and temporal scale in environmental contexts. By merging immersive digital aesthetics with the geological history of Wicklow, Heaney encourages audiences to reconsider nature’s presence in the age of accelerated technology, considering both connection and disconnection from ecological systems.
