Data as Culture - Art that uses data as a material
Flowers is a series of highly photo-realistic digital flower animations, designed to ‘create flowers that look real but that can’t possibly be real’. Brown reinforces their uncanny super-natural effects by mapping different visual references into them. The encoded words, data, digital detritus and glitches he has applied here reflect the context of the Digital Catapult where the work was prominently displayed.
