Micro-forests within the living tissue of 'inert' organic nature in the digital glitch. Around 7 am I wake up, take a glass of water and go for an hour hike in the forest where I live. All sorts of plants and ecosystems around me are micro worlds for exploration. I photograph tree bark and stone fungi—micro worlds that fascinate me in shape, color and formation. Then I take the images and transform them digitally, digging for mini worlds as if I was a digital-paleontologist. What we sometimes dismiss as dead matter (dry bark, lichen, fungus, scab) hosts invisible-to-the-naked-eye ecosystems constantly processing and transforming. The added layer of digital glitch enhances and reveals a parallel between biological and computational systems that encode information in binary language, generating complexity through iteration and error. The series of 7 images is a conversation with nature and code interpretation, revealed as literal micro-forests within organic tissue and expanded through digital distortion. Decay as executable protocol. The encrypted landscape. Maps of territories in the fertile cracks back in my garden where one world becomes another.
