Occurrens Mirabilis Artwork - Limited Edition of 50

The images presented in this work were created with midjourney, an ai tool that translates text into images. I limit my prompts to a minimum of 3 words or less, with the clear goal of not being in control, and to enjoy the discovery and surprise in the result. The cataloging approach built into experiences we know from nature museums (I saw, read a little, moved on to the next thing) establishes a kind of cancellation and patronage, which inhibit the observation and exploration, the awe and wonder we could give that which is in front of us. In the primal encounter with nature, there is a childlike wonder at the unknown, the uncontrollable. This is also the experience I am interested in creating here. I want to make the viewers wonder what exactly they are seeing. The project was shown as part of Jerusalem Design Week 2023 and was chosen from over 100 artworks to be featured in Haaretz, Israel's leading newspaper.
