The Singing Tree by Es Devlin

Set designer Es Devlin talks about her inspiration for ‘The Singing Tree’, a unique audio-visual Christmas tree created especially for our Grand Entrance. The tree is brought to life via machine learning and thousands of words collected from the public. We invite you to contribute your own word over the Christmas period to the Singing Tree. Your words will be combined and projected into a cumulative carol, illuminating the Christmas tree. See the tree until 6 January 2018 and add your festive word in person at V&A South Kensington or online Tune into Sounds Like Christmas at the V&A: Join the conversation #SoundsLikeChristmas The Singing Tree has been created in collaboration with video designer Luke Halls, creative technologist Ross Goodwin, creative studio Sunshine and music & sound collective .
