Inspired by a personal medical journey, Rhizome found exceptional aesthetic appeal in the medical data resulting from an urgent surgery. What began as a fascination with the visual aspects of ECG lines and medical diagrams evolved into a deeper exploration of the connection between the human body and nature.
Drawing inspiration from John Ernest Weaver’s ecological insights, Rhizome discovered correlations between the human body, soil, and heartbeats, symbolizing life and animus. This revelation led to the experimentation of intertwining ECG results, resembling roots, thunder, leaves, veins, and even umbilical cords. Each artwork in the GENESIS Collection reflects the artist’s energy and emotions captured synesthetically through colors, shapes, and movement.
Utilizing digital manipulation techniques, Rhizome transformed her own heartbeat data into visual forms, overlaying them onto X-ray scans of her chest. The resulting artworks serve as unique reflections of specific moments in the artist’s life, each carrying a timestamp and the artist’s signature. By infusing human touch into the blockchain, Rhizome aims to brid ge the gap between the intimate and the digital, illustrating the interconnectedness of personal data and shared experiences.
Through research in cymatics, Rhizome further explored the manifestation of vibration and frequency in physical shapes, integrating sacred geometry and sound frequency patterns into the collection. The result is a harmonious blend of visually discernible medical data and organic warmth, symbolizing the interconnectedness of all forms of life and energy.
Every collector of the digital artwork will be able to claim its phygital version, a print of the artwork authenticated on blockchain thanks to the new T.R.A.C.E technology developed by transient lab.
