At its core, bonsai livestream.com is an attempt to ground a digital internet presentation to a tactile and physical world. Unlike most digital presentations, a livestream suggests the notion of presence by existing only in a moment, the video feed is not archived. Using the near simultaneous worldwide connection of a livestream, the image shares and reflects the pace at which we all change, move, and exist.
