Beaucarnea recurvata - Ponytail palm #5

Text by Spøgelsesmaskinen:

I always been very fascinated by water and flow patterns and how they are present in shaping nature. Ever since I read the classic “Sensitive Chaos” by Theodor Schwenk, flow patterns has been a recurring theme in my works beside working with technical heritage studies. The combination of the low res pixels and the mesmerising effects achieved by flow-motion are some of the most beautiful calming phenomenass and I just never get tired of playing around with them.

When I first discovered how pixels somehow emphasises the tickeling sensation when one emitting light diode takes over from the previous I knew I had to do a garden series.

Glitch Garden is my attempt to recreate this ticketing effect while studying a range of different plant types, grasses and leaves and their relation to the low resolution of 128x128 pixels.
