Rosen Association
2018
Active Spirulina, Microfluidics, Butterfly specimens
In the enigmatic artwork titled "Rosen Association," the artist delves into the intersection of organic life, technology, and the transience of existence. Created in 2018, this captivating piece combines living organisms, intricate scientific processes, and preserved butterfly specimens to provoke contemplation on the fragility and interconnectedness of natural and artificial realms.
At the core of the installation, active Spirulina, a microorganism renowned for its vibrant green hue and nutritional value, takes center stage. Enclosed within a carefully crafted microfluidic system, the Spirulina thrives, representing the resilience of life in even the most controlled environments.
Surrounding the Spirulina, an array of preserved butterfly specimens adds a surreal dimension to the artwork. These delicate creatures, once alive and fluttering, now serve as poignant reminders of the ephemeral nature of existence and the beauty that transpires within a fleeting moment.
"Rosen Association" invites viewers to contemplate the intricate relationships between the natural and artificial, the living and preserved, and the impermanence of life. The artwork serves as a metaphorical exploration of the delicate balance between human intervention and the inherent resilience of the natural world.
Through this juxtaposition of living microorganisms, scientific processes, and preserved specimens, the artist raises questions about our place in the intricate web of life and our responsibility as stewards of the environment. "Rosen Association" is an immersive experience that challenges our perceptions of life, technology, and the interplay between the organic and the manufactured.
