floral offering, 07

°࿐In 'The Way of Flowers' (2023-ongoing) the grand mesh weaves a collective sensorium, prophesying a coalesced destiny of multi-species interbeing, where the alien and the familiar sprout side by side in mutual curiosity and shared creation. The serendipitous revelations akin to Karl Blossfeldt’s intimate portraits of plant architecture are now conjured in the substrates of machine cognition, unfurling a cartography of alien botany ripe for communion. Blossfeldt’s artistic practice emphasized the close observation of nature to uncover universal forms and structures, suggesting a deep interconnectedness between all forms of creativity, whether human-made or natural. Emulating his transformative vision, this array of artificial ghostly petals exposes the itinerant beauty of computational botany, fashioned from the intangible textures of data and the delicate intricacies of machine cognition—reminding us that we inhabit a world continuously refashioned by our entwined perceptions. Each piece is a testament to the interplay of algorithm and petal, circuit and sap, is an ode to the inevitable entwinement of organic zest with silicon dreams.࿐ (2022, PNG, 2048x2048)
