Abstract

This talk centers on the artist’s recent AI-based botanical animation and interdisciplinary media practice. It examines how plants can move beyond being objects of representation and become generative systems of perception. By connecting psychological structures, botanical forms, and AI image-generation processes, the work translates inner emotions, memories, and lived experiences into visual fields that grow, mutate, and emerge. The talk further considers how AI can shift from being a tool for image production to becoming a creative methodology—one that generates not only images, but also relations, rhythms, and a renewed sense of life. In this context, plants are no longer static symbols, but dynamic media that connect personal experience, cultural memory, and technological perception.
