Centre A is pleased to announce Unseen Garden, a digital project developed by artists Chris Hamamoto and Frederico Pérez Villoro.

Brought to you in the form of a website (unseen.garden), it compiles a series of stock-image timelapses displaying flowers blooming and decaying with auto-generated captions added by a custom-made program.

About the Project:

“The project explores the intransferability of meaning between text and images and the reproduction of taxonomic orders in both stock imagery and machine vision. A technical reenactment of NeuralTalk, an early model designed to write sentences that describe images’ contents, this adaptation of it for contemporary computers exposes the limits of object recognition technologies– its inaccurate outcomes make explicit the unstable relation between images and their conceptual representations.”
