Plant Futures




Plant Futures is an artistic research project seeking to understand how plants could shift in the face of future climate changes. Rather than focusing on stories of climate change on a macro level — wildfires, floods — I wanted to uncover the stories of climate change on a micro level that could eventually shape our familiar surroundings into something entirely new.

Looking at just one flower, what does it need to survive and how might those needs be impacted by future climates? How a flower blooms is rooted in the place in which it grows. The variance in size, petals, color, even veins can be traced to that month's temperature, rain, storms, which is in turn traced by sensors and compiled as data.

Thus a flower represents, in and of itself, its surroundings as well as the broader climate. I investigated how plants react to climate, imagining future flowers based on future climate data. Through researching how climate influences flowers’ color, shape, petals, veins, I speculated as to how future climate data might literally shape future flowers. Together with Marcin Ignac of Variable, we created one flower per year, from 2023 - 2100.
