This Garden Bot work is about making Gardens in consultation with AI Nanobots that are Futuristic Life Forms. The Bots here are abstract female forms.

These works called Bot Dialectics or Garden Bots are about making Gardens in consultation with AI Nanobots that are Futuristic Life Forms.

When making a garden, I think you must ask a lot of questions. I watch over the garden and tend the garden, yet so much happens that I do not see. Maybe I stand for a long time or squint or dig just to smell and observe the growth. As a microcosm and metaphor, the container of garden, the garden body, the architecture of it, are all intellectual constructs that source back to and rely on nature itself, then assert values and formal ideals. These become the Garden Bots.
