About the garden
Inspired by the installation Notion Field by Cuppetelli and Mendoza, Elastic Motion portrays the movement of vertical elastic ropes in a computer simulation, and the curve of elastic forms. The Long Border shows the relationship between a human and computer bond, and between real and virtual, a theme that is particularly relevant in today’s technological world. The use of structure and shape in the planting, the change of its colour and texture, illustrates elastic’s curvature. As you walk along the border, the planting appears to move and elongate with you, giving a real sense of flow.
