The field keeps changing; when computation ends, it remains in viewers’ memories. Two full interviews trace the work’s philosophy and the development of its audience experience. ## Original work record Original work statement from MonoLab 這是一件即時演算的生成式作品。 展場中有一台電腦持續運算，當觀眾走進展廳，花才開始存在。 作品以 30 組新北代表元素為起點，從中摘取色票，延伸出一道有機的顏色光譜，在深邃的背景中緩緩綻放成一片數位花海。沒有兩個觀眾看見同一朵花，即使同一個人走出展廳再走回來，花海也早已是另一個狀態。該展演並非預錄的影片，也不是被壓縮成一幅固定的畫，而是一個被觀看的當下才完整的活系統。 當展期結束、最後一位觀眾離開、電腦被關機的那一秒，這些花不會保存在任何硬碟裡。它們只會把最後的印象留在觀眾的腦中，就像平行宇宙裡的生命，每一次出現都已經不再是同一個。當有人看著這件作品的時候，它就是活著，且只有當下的觀者能擁有瞬間；當沒有人看著的時候，這件作品就算是消失了。 吳哲宇長期研究植物構型與生成式筆刷系統，從噪聲、水彩到油畫質地。然而就像攝影術被發明的那一刻，當系統把花畫得愈像，反倒愈失去了原本的味道。 他回到梵谷的印象派，看見一種熟悉的韻律：花朵會散掉，筆觸就是筆觸，卻有時會聚合成更抽象的完整花朵。在完整與散落之間，存在著生命，那是無機物試圖逼近有機的過程。但愈逼近，他愈發現：無論如何都碰觸不到自然的完美細節。 於是他放下抵達的執著，把接近的過程本身當成作品。《未竟之花》是兩套生長系統彼此對話的現場：花有花的生長，在她自己的生命體裡綻放、開展、凋謝；系統有系統的生長，在演算法的邏輯裡重現、模擬、逼近。作品存在的位置不在任何一方，而是在這兩種生長交會、錯開、又彼此試圖觸及的那條縫隙裡。 這就是「未竟」。 不是缺陷，是設計；不是還沒完成，是永遠不該完成。 Images10 ![White daisies across the curved wall with a single visitor at the centre](https://cheyuwu.com/static/img/mirror/f60b658bb909.jpg) Work documentation from MonoLab ![A blue-green field of flowers wrapping the curved wall](https://cheyuwu.com/static/img/mirror/671880ab0b81.webp) Work documentation from MonoLab ![The field spilling from the wall onto the ceiling](https://cheyuwu.com/static/img/mirror/7127af8fa0d8.jpg) Work documentation from MonoLab ![Live parameters naming the flower variant and its colour token](https://cheyuwu.com/static/img/mirror/c62c72fc5ec6.jpg) Work documentation from MonoLab ![A yellow field with the silhouette of a visitor holding a phone](https://cheyuwu.com/static/img/mirror/57c730d3d436.jpg) Work documentation from MonoLab ![White flowers folding across the corner of two walls](https://cheyuwu.com/static/img/mirror/e8f0942a1052.webp) Work documentation from MonoLab ![Orange flowers and a visitor on a beanbag](https://cheyuwu.com/static/img/mirror/170af1004420.jpg) Work documentation from MonoLab ![A visitor standing before the white daisies](https://cheyuwu.com/static/img/mirror/33dca6ce24c0.webp) Work documentation from MonoLab ![A pink-violet generation blooming against the dark ground](https://cheyuwu.com/static/img/mirror/0e2df3f1ca8b.webp) Work documentation from MonoLab ![Three visitors stopped at different stretches of the field](https://cheyuwu.com/static/img/mirror/2e9ee888dd5f.jpg) Work documentation from MonoLab ## Context & sources - [Original work record](https://monolab.world/zh/exhibition/27/) - [Full interview I: philosophy of the work (Chinese original) →](https://cheyuwu.com/zh/dialogues/2026-04-14-unfinished-bloom-preserving-possibility/#section-4e776812e1) - [Full interview II: audience experience (Chinese original) →](https://cheyuwu.com/zh/dialogues/2026-04-21-unfinished-bloom-visual-jazz/#section-426b8391b9) - [Unfinished Bloom · 2026 →](https://cheyuwu.com/exhibitions/unfinished-bloom) Exhibitions, research & collaborations [Contact the artist](https://cheyuwu.com/contact?work=Unfinished+Bloom&from=/work/unfinished-bloom/) ## Continue through the work ![The Soul of Flowers](https://cheyuwu.com/static/img/soul-of-flowers/cover-2026-09.jpg) 2023 ### The Soul of Flowers [https://cheyuwu.com/work/soul-of-flowers](https://cheyuwu.com/work/soul-of-flowers) ![The Flower of the Other Shore](https://cheyuwu.com/static/img/covers/flower-of-the-other-shore.webp) 2024 ### The Flower of the Other Shore [https://cheyuwu.com/work/flower-of-the-other-shore](https://cheyuwu.com/work/flower-of-the-other-shore) 1 / 0
