sweep the box, make a garden

2021, installation
niiwa building

The work consists of three parts. The first is a projection of images of weeds growing from gaps in the road and the artist sweeping the concrete paved road in the city with a broom to collect dust. The second is suspended smartphones that show images of dust, weeds, and shoes that appear in the video, which are gradually converted into emojis/pictograms through machine-learning algorithms. The third is a monitor on the floor on which emojis/pictograms are generated in response to the wind blowing into the exhibition space.
