Description:

Mosaic Virus (2018) is a GAN generated video work using artificial intelligence of tulips, creating a Dutch still life for the twenty-first century. Drawing historical parallels from the ‘tulip mania’ that swept across the Netherlands in the seventeenth century, the stripes on the tulips respond to the rise and fall of bitcoin prices in real time, drawing a parallel to the hysteria and speculation around crypto-currencies today.

This work is the first iteration of a larger project expressed in three different forms: Mosaic Virus (2019) and Mosaic Virus (2018) as video installations; Myriad (Tulips) (2018) as a dataset; and Bloemenveiling (2019) as a website.
