TRANSIENT BLOOM merges Claude Monet’s fascination with light and nature’s impermanence with a digital reflection on the evolving tides of cultural attention and impression. This generative artwork recreates a lush, ever-changing garden, where icons of digital art and internet culture are embedded as statues and structures in the organic landscape, mimicking the blending of our digital and natural worlds. 

Beeple is Mike Winkelmann, a graphic designer from Charleston, SC, USA who makes a variety of digital artwork including short films, Creative Commons VJ loops, everydays and VR / AR work.  

One of the originators of the current "everyday" movement in 3D graphics, he has been creating a picture every day from start to finish and posting it online for over ten years without missing a single day.

Transient Bloom is made possible through the generous support of the Toledo Museum of Art’s Presenting Sponsors Susan and Tom Palmer, Season Sponsors Taylor Automotive Family and Silver Sponsors Toledo Museum of Art Ambassadors, Rita Barbour Kern Foundation, and the Ohio Arts Council, which receives support from the State of Ohio and the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional support from Great Lakes Sound, Inc., and Joel Epstein.
