Magna Arbor Vitae Deku
Description
Gallery: iam8bit
Exhibition: SUPER iam8bit
For iam8bit's (semi) annual mega art show celebrating the art of video games, I created Magna Arbor Vitae Deku (traslated “The Great Deku Tree of Life”) a sprawling exploration of the evolutionary biology of the 200 most important species from the Legend of Zelda video game series. Complete with binomial Latin names (Zora bellator and Zora fluvialis share a common ancestor with the more peaceful species Zora sapien, for example), the brances of the Deku tree trace the evolution of each species over millions of years. Forks in the branches indicate an extinct common ancestor of the species that follow.
