HERBARIUM OF WEED PLANTS

 

New hybrid between nature and technology

Series of visual graphics

Material: scanned plants

This visual work was developed during the workshop "Herbarium for a city of the future" , in which  were carried out collective reflections on the city's spontaneous herbs and their cataloging.


I scanned the collected weeds in motion, which caused a deformation of their original shape, generating abstract patterns, which appear to vibrate.

A new aspect of the plant is made visible, originated: the energetic part, the optical decomposition and its digitalization which transforms the natural subject into an object of the technological/virtual world.


The spontaneous plants that grow in the city and that we often ignore can be a real resource for the cities of the future
