Fire (8198 Images), video stills


A plant is a process that takes space over time. It is solid but porous, in perpetual motion and never complete. Oxford-120 Flowers, a dataset of 8189 images scraped from the internet, ordered in set categories of flowers, traces plants across space, collapsing time.

The work is a fiction of a model that burns in programmed attempt to compute identity from images and map a world.
