Elantica, IVY2.0 2016

Permanent work at the Liedts Meesen foundation, Zebrastraat Ghent(BE)

About the artwork

With the structure IVY 2.0 Bobolito shows yet another example of how life and its natural environment can be manipulated into a new form. The installation refers to the balance between electronics and nature, or to how automated forms and platforms can mimic our natural environment and biological behavior. The digitization of these elements can yield a more artificial result, a product adapted to the new world. The robotic plant is looking for its way along the facades of the Zebra Street. The digital creeper shines through its skin made from discarded computer circuit boards.
