Once Upon A Garden is a speculative archive of critically endangered and extinct flora that we have little to no records of, and therefore no way to remember.
Artist Linda Dounia Rebeiz uses AI as a time machine to piece together visual data about flowers we have not bothered recording using sparse and fragmented available records.
The installation presents 50 emergent species of speculative flora across 5 chapters. reflecting AI models’ improvements in synthesizing images based on context.
Linda Dounia is an artist, designer, and writer interested in the philosophical and environmental implications of technocapitalism. A Senegalese- Lebanese artist, her artistic practice mediates her memories as alternative realities and evidence of excluded ways of being and doing.
