Garden GIFs (or, if you pronounce that word with a “jay” sound, Jungle GIFs)!

A little side project from The World After Us, Garden GIFs animate 360-degree views of Server Farms, my cybernatural sculptures that combine e-waste with botanical life. The photographs were initially shot as documentation for one of the exhibition catalog essayists, and later turned into stand-alone animated artworks to distribute online. Some are available as 1/1 or editioned NFTs on Foundation, objkt. and Quantum.Art

The World After Us: Imaging techno-aesthetic futures is a traveling solo exhibition of sculptures, installations, prints, and photographs that combine plant life with electronic waste, and scientific experimentation with artistic exploration. They take the forms of: a wall-hung jungle of computer detritus and biological reclamation; fossilized and reconfigured phones and laptops; and reimagined and re-formed electronics. It transforms what we discard so as to rethink conversations, thoughts, and actions around media production, use, and waste. At stake, whether in our everyday interactions or on a much larger scale, are the relationships between humans and the natural world on the one hand, between politics and commerce on the other.
