Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg's tapestry, 8obW5zC7px3WDVBEoZx2UY (Pollinator Vision, Late Summer to Early Autumn), continues from previous woven works: Four Epochs of Paradise and Perceptual Field.
The tapestry depicts an unrealised edition of Ginsberg’s Pollinator Pathmaker, a living artwork that must be planted to exist. Ginsberg generates a digital garden using her algorithmic generation software, capturing different aspects and seasons from digital fly-throughs of each garden, which is then translated into the unique composition of each tapestry.
The pixelated weaving of tapestry offers another sustainable medium to explore digital art. Stepping away from the dominance of the screen and the abstraction of computation, the tapestry reintroduces the tactile interactions of ecosystems, encouraging caretaking and tenderness for our shared natural world.
The tapestry transforms the world to the scale of the insect. Flowers are blown up so we are shrunk to the scale of pollinators. Colours are skewed with Ginsberg’s ‘pollinator vision’ filter, which demonstrates a different way of seeing, and her imagery is scarred with computational distortions hinting at the otherworldliness of another species’ experience. The history of tapestry as a utopian space is blended with a utopian vision of a garden, first and foremost as art for the more-than-human rather than a place for humans.
