iart studio presents a new sculptural media work commissioned by LG, created using flexible OLED displays.

The material and digital realms both comprise particles: the material tangible and volatile, the digital disembodied and magical— as Vilém Flusser would put it. We would never mistake the sensuality of a lush meadow in all its beauty, for anything but an encounter with pure transient nature. Conversely, digital figures and objects, which fill our screens, do not decay as plants do in nature.

It is only through the never-ending cycle of growth and decay that we experience the overwhelming multitude of various flowers, blossoms, and petals: Nature selects, while lucky accidents provide randomness for the DNA— nature’s ever-evolving codebase, written and rewritten with each new generation. This multitude is the base of these non-fungible flowers, created with artificial intelligence and constantly arrayed in new sets. Perpetually changing, not to be sold, but to be experienced.
