Ultra Nature, Seoul (Korea)

"Ultra-Nature 2006" is a new virtual garden which was created for the "Art and Play" exhibition at Seoul Art Center. The garden’s flora is made up of six varieties of luminescent, scalar plants, ranging from herbaceous vegetation and bright yellow flowers with turquoise stems, through to cacti in shades of red and violet. Each plant evolves according to a unique cycle that is defined by its morphogenetic characteristics. Two motion sensors allow visitors to influence the growth of the garden’s plants. Projected on tree walls for a lenth of 36 meter, the plants incline to the left or right, creating a scene which alternates between baroque strapwork and stylized organic ballet.
