Collaborator, Blyth Hazen
Robotic and
Interactive Installation
1999
The garden is a meditation on the relationship of the viewer to the artwork and the temporal state of all forms of life. As we engage the slow process of mechanical impact to the growth within the garden, we may ask ourselves, Are we participating in a slow erosion or the reshaping of natures’ forms?
Interest in this installation can be found in the subtleties and the scale. The moss can look like an entire region from above – like observing the interaction of nature and technology without being immersed in it. From this aerial perspective we can think about the issues of development, ecology and growth. >>
