How to remember our human origin as species to connect again with Nature using visual images?

Is a contradiction to say that visual images from technological tools as cameras, computers, projectors, robots will re-connect human species to the origin and home, I mean origin as Nature and Home as Earth. I think is a contradiction, because I hardly believe that never will be the same experience to embrace physically a tree that watch an image printed or digital projected on a screen about myself embracing the tree. There is something else that make the physical experience magic and deep. However, I wonder how through the use of visual arts is possible plant ideas into people unconscious mind at any age and background to remember the importance of being in connection with nature, specially nowadays that we are living the times of a global climate change and environmental crisis.

Wilson et. al in (1984) coined the term "Biophilia" an hypothesis about the genetically based human need and propensity to affiliate with life and lifelike process. The term "biophilia" means "love of life or living systems." It was first used by Erich Fromm to describe a psychological orientation of being attracted to all that is alive and vital. Wilson uses the term in the same sense when he suggests that biophilia describes "the connections that human beings subconsciously seek with the rest of life.”

The same way Albrecht (2005, 2006, 2010, 2012) coined the concept of "Solastalgia" as a feeling of desolation or melancholia about the emplaced and lived experience of the chronic deterioration of a loved 'home' environment

According to studies made by Kahn et. al.(2009), about the Human Nature Relation with Techological Nature they said "Two world trends are powerfully reshaping human existence: the degradation, if not destruction, of large parts of the natural world, and unprecedented technological development. At the nexus of these two trends lies technological Nature -technologies that in various ways mediate, augment, or simulate the natural world. Current examples of technological nature include videos and live webcams of nature, robot animals and immersive virtual environments." After
