"Have a Tea with a Tree" is an online platform of the "Office for Tree Migration" where anyone can book an appointment for a video conference with 1-10 trees of different countries & climates for free. The trees will also participate live in the stream. The conferences are scheduled with one hour each. Besides the meeting with trees, these meetings can be extended and e.g. guests can be invited or scenes staged can be added. The OTM online platform thus becomes a hybrid field of experimentation between digital and analog worlds, humans, nature and technology. It can become stage, exhibition space, film, performance, reading, conference, and exchange between different forms of communication as well as life, play, explore.
