FRAGILE FUTURE

A LIGHT INSTALLATION COMBINING NATURE AND TECHNOLOGY 
 
With Fragile Future  fuses nature and technology into a multidisciplinary light sculpture. The project is a critical yet utopian vision on the future of our planet, wherein two seemingly opposite evolutions have made a pact to survive
 
Materials: Phosphorusbronze, LED’s, real Dandelion seeds
Fragile Future is a site-specific art installation
 
The sculpture consists of three-dimensional bronze electrical circuits connected to light-emitting dandelions. The sculpture can go on endlessly as new circuits can always be added. It contains real dandelion seeds that were picked by hand and glued, seed by seed, to LED lights. This labour-intensive process is a clear statement against mass production and throwaway culture. Are the rapid technological developments of our age really more advanced than the evolution of nature, of which the dandelion is such a transient and symbolic example? And how could those two evolve together?
