Carpere Flores /version 2/

The updated version of Carpere Flores - /version 2/ represents a shift from a purely digital space to a physical one, a move necessitated by the challenges posed by the pandemic during the creation of the initial version. I view this work and its creative potential as highly adaptable. My artistic approach involves merging digital and handcrafted elements to explore the possibilities that arise from integrating artistic craftsmanship with technological innovation.

Carpere Flores /Version 2/ provides an exploration of sound, light, and materials—a small, captivating, colourful world of bright flowers. It features a continuous sound unit where the flower corresponding to the currently playing notes illuminates, introducing a dynamic visual dimension. At the core of this audiovisual installation is the transformation of a selection of angiosperms and their flowers from raw numerical data into harmonic sound. A selection of 15 flowers, illuminated with addressable LED lights and crafted by hand from wire and UV resin. A grass-like texture was created using an arttex technology—a tapestry made through the non-woven textiles method - painting with pure wool, adding depth to the visual composition.

Within this imaginative world, technology, nature, the fairytale realm, and handcraft converge, inviting viewers to explore and contemplate.
