Digital Garden
19 June – 13 July 2024
Digital Garden is a multimedia installation that examines our relationship with technology, considering its potential for both creativity and conservation. The installation operates through a web-based platform that encourages participants to share memories with the garden. In response, the garden reimagines these memories, creating a unique interactive experience.
The installation’s physical component is built from repurposed electronic waste and technology acquired through end-of-life streams. As visitors traverse the fabricated landscape, they encounter a mix of old and new, organic and artificial elements. This juxtaposition prompts reflections on our consumption patterns, the pace of technological change, and the transient nature of technological innovations. Through this exploration, Digital Garden addresses themes of globalisation, obsolescence, and the intersection of past and future technologies.
Digital Garden is a collaborative effort involving a team of artists and technologists. The creative team includes Darryl Chin, Kristin Li, and Kyung Ho Min, with development by Ford Jones and Qianye Lin.
