Memory Garden
2024
Ink and watercolor on cotton rag, painter’s tape, chatGPT output on printer paper
Setting a timer, Alves listed as many flowers as he could remember in one hour. He managed to get to 50.
He then asked chatGPT to list 50 flowers. It took 6 seconds.
In this work, Alves asks "Is memory important? Would you choose one hour or 6 seconds to reflect on nature or the nature of things?"
