花草甸由一种不可替代的花卉组成，由人工智能滋养，每天都会更新和繁殖。
展览
由iart开发的五个动态屏幕雕塑是展览“LUX:当代艺术新浪潮”的一部分，该展览由SUUM策展和咨询组织，于2021年10月13日至12月18日在伦敦180 the Strand举行。除了iart的大型装置外，还展出了Refik Anadol、Hito Steyerl、Carsten Nicolai、Es Devlin和其他当代媒体艺术的杰出代表的作品。
这个展览模糊了现实世界和虚拟世界之间的界限，承诺提供一个壮观的感官超载。

屏风雕塑
五个动态屏幕雕塑组成了“花草甸”，由六个可弯曲的OLED屏幕单独组成。它们像花瓣一样排列，由一种复杂的驱动力控制，像自然花朵一样开放。这一奇观被安装在伦敦西区斯特兰德街180号的天花板上，伴随着球形配乐。
在KURZE
5个动态屏幕雕塑，每个雕塑6个可弯曲的55英寸屏幕，屏幕相互折叠，定时打开和关闭人工智能生成的虚拟花朵。艺术就是技术，这才是重点。
静息状态
屏幕相互折叠，显示出重复和改变硬件物理形式的几何表面。这创造了屏幕之间重叠的视觉参考，使花看起来比它们本身更复杂。虚拟光泽效果唤起了一种微妙的光线运动——就好像太阳在加速运动中扫过花朵。
开放的花朵
当它们打开的那一刻，屏幕雕塑就会展示出真正绽放的花朵的图像。在幕后，人工智能已经分析了成千上万的花朵图像，并生成了这些全新的、完全人造的花朵。
闭合的花朵
在一束虚拟的光线照射下，有形的花朵恢复到抽象的图案，屏幕收缩。基本颜色从红到黄，从紫到绿。斯特兰德街180号天花板上的人造花一开一合，在花草地上唤起了昼夜、春天和秋天的自然节奏。

项目历史
这一切都始于SUUM的一个请求。LG屏幕的非凡灵活性必须以一种前所未有的方式展示出来。因此，iart提出了以花瓣形式机械移动屏幕雕塑的想法。在与MKT工程公司的合作下，该公司于2021年春季开发了第一个原型机，其中包括复杂的机械子结构。在成功试运行后，又在2021年夏天建造了四朵花，并于秋季安装在180 The Strand。
Flower Meadow consists of a non-fungible species of flowers that are nourished by AI that will renew and proliferate every day.

THE EXHIBITION
Five kinetic screen sculptures developed by iart are part of the exhibition "LUX: A New Wave of Contemporary Art", organised by SUUM curation and consulting, and held at London's 180 The Strand from October 13 to December 18, 2021. In addition to iart's expansive installation, works by Refik Anadol, Hito Steyerl, Carsten Nicolai, Es Devlin, and other prominent exponents of contemporary media art are on display.
Blurring the lines between the physical and virtual worlds, this exhibition promises to offer a spectacular sensory overload.

THE SCREEN SCULPTURES
The five kinetic screen sculptures which make up "Flower Meadow”, consist individually of six flexible OLED screens. They are arranged in petal-like formation and controlled by a complex drive to open like natural blossoms. A spherical soundtrack accompanies the spectacle which is mounted on the ceiling of 180 The Strand in London's West End.

The art is the tech, that’s the point.
THE RESTING STATE
The screens fold into each other, revealing the geometric surfaces that repeat and vary the physical form of the hardware. This creates visual references that overlap between the screens, making the flowers appear even more complex than they already physically are. Virtual gloss effects evoke a subtle movement of light - as if the sun were sweeping over the flowers in sped up motion.
THE OPEN BLOSSOMS
The moment they open, the screen sculptures display images of actual blossoms in full radiance. Behind the scenes an AI has already analysed thousands of blossom images and generated these new, completely artificial flowers.
THE CLOSED BLOSSOMS
With a virtual sweep of light, the tangible blossoms revert to abstract patterns, and the screens contract. The basic colours vary from red to yellow, violet to green. The artificial flowers on the ceiling of 180 The Strand open and close, evoking the natural rhythm of day and night, spring and autumn in a flower meadow.

THE PROJECT'S HISTORY
It all started with a request from SUUM. The extraordinary flexibility of the LG screens had to be showcased in a way that had never been seen before. As a result, iart developed the idea of mechanically moving screen sculptures in the form of petals. In collaboration with MKT Engineering, a first prototype including a sophisticated mechanical substructure was developed in Spring 2021. After successful trial runs, four more flowers were built in Summer 2021 and installed at 180 The Strand in autumn.
