Animated match garden from Gardens of World Cup 2026

Drop Announcement / Conceptual Data Art

Gardens of World Cup 2026 is live

Football has always carried more than a score for me: memory, place, family, rivalry, rhythm and an immense shared attention. In this project, every validated match is translated into an animated garden.

The translation system is the conceptual work. Passes become flowers, shots become trees, crosses become flying animals, saves populate pools, and goals create figures and feed a fountain. Approved match data, a stable rule set and deterministic rendering let the same record produce the same garden.
