Interview with Sedition & Launch Golden Glory Series

In the constantly evolving landscape of art and technology, Kirsten Swensen emerges as a beacon of innovation and introspection, exploring the profound themes of impermanence, transience, and flux through her latest collection, Golden Glory, launched on Sedition. This exquisite series, a testament to Swensen's Dutch heritage and inspired by the Dutch Golden Age, delves deep into the ephemeral beauty of life and the inevitable decay of death.

By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to generate and slowly decompose images of vibrant flower bouquets, Swensen not only pays homage to the classical art of still lives but also propels it into the contemporary realm, where the digital and the transient interlace. Golden Glory invites viewers on a philosophical journey, challenging them to reflect on the beauty that fades and the digital footprints that, while seemingly eternal, will also become relics of the past.

Through this collection, Swensen continues to explore the intersection of human emotion, technological advancement, and the timeless quest for meaning in our fleeting existence.
