Every night in May, from 11:57pm to midnight, Time Square’s electronic billboards will be overtaken by a mesmerizing flowers video. Called Botanic, by artist Jennifer Steinkamp, the animation consists of flowering condolence plants floating inside a cubic framework. The flowers are blown around by an unseen force causing them to collide with each other and the edges of the frame. With the collisions, the flowers break apart into a collection of seeds, twigs, leaves and petals. The animation loops forward and backward, so you see nature breaking apart and also coming back together. Lovely!
