Whats It like to Be a Giant Sequoia Tree | Ersin Han Ersin | TED

Artist Ersin Han Ersin invites us to step inside a giant sequoia tree, peering through the bark into the tapestry of life within. Discover how his multisensory installations explore the concept of “umwelt,“ or the unique sensory experience of different organisms, and learn how to see the deep interconnectedness of humanity and the natural world.
