As a result of working with digital image archives of extinct plants over the past two years, “Phantom of a Garden” imagines a future in which lost things are brought back to life in a digital realm. Based on a found-footage image archive of extinct and endangered plant species, the digital images and image fragments were subjected to a transformative process with the help of an AI that interpreted the images as 3D models. Without a real template, based only on collected images devoid of perspective and detail, the rendered plants are usually glitchy and reminiscent of ghostly apparitions or phantom echoes of their former selves.
