In times of digital abundance, Treespotting AR (TSAR) challenges the hyperrealism of technocratic digital twins and XR applications. Learning from Cesare Leonardi and Franca Stagi's experimental graphics deployed in their seminal work "The Architecture of Trees", TSAR translates their reductionist logic into a monochromatic point cloud installation. By minimizing data to maximize phenomenological engagement, the project explores new forms of mediated encounters with urban nature. Field-tested by 430 participants, the installation demonstrates how abstract visualization can foster reflection about the multiple formalizations of AR while investigating speculative and participative design, proposing a shift from managerial data to embodied, phygital encounters.
