"Phantom of a Garden" imagines a future in which lost things are brought back to life in a virtual world. Based on a found-footage image archive of extinct and endangered plant species, the digital images and image fragments were subjected to a transformation process with an AI that interprets them as 3D models. Wit these, a virtual garden landscape was ceated. Based solely on collected images that offer neither perspective nor detail, the rendered plants become pixelated, glitchy, phantom-like echoes of their former selves.
