Deeply moved by themes of nature and technology, Mandy Stoller aka Simulated invites us to look at how nature and technology interact and affect our view of the world. The Artist used the idea of a fading memory to show the eerie beauty of nature as it's changed by the rise of technology.The artist uses a scanner instead of a camera to capture nature in its most fleeting moments. Flowers, usually symbols of life, appear ghostly and their colors blend in strange ways. Each scan shows a world in the middle of change, with glitches and flaws highlighting how technology is invading nature. The main question the artist explores is whether technology will help humans connect with nature in a positive way, or if it will lead to the breakdown of society. Through this exploration, the artist's work reflects on an uncertain future where the lines between the natural and the artificial blur, and what it means to be human is questioned.
