IN BLOOM, AI data sculpture exhibition by Ronen Tanchum at Tel Aviv Museum of Art

IN BLOOM

Solo Exhibition 2025

IN BLOOM is a solo exhibition at TAMA built around AI-generated flowers driven by real-time electricity consumption data. As the national grid load shifts through the day, the garden responds through blooming, wilting, saturation, density, and transformation.

The work connects invisible infrastructure to visible form. Each flower is shaped by the energy demands of millions of people at that moment, turning collective consumption into a living botanical field that is beautiful, unstable, and quietly dependent on human activity.

For the studio, IN BLOOM brings data sculpture, AI image generation, exhibition design, and continuous runtime into a single museum system. It demonstrates how live public data can be translated into an emotional spatial experience without losing the specificity of the underlying source.

Short Description IN BLOOM - a TAMA solo exhibition where AI-generated flowers respond to real-time electricity consumption, turning national energy demand into bloom, saturation, and decline.
