Grow - Fruits of Kronos is an installation that reflects on the connection and relationship between machine and nature. The work consists of a machine controlled by a certain algorithm that changes the position of a plant in relation to a static light source. Under normal conditions, the plant would grow in the direction of the light and against gravity. In Gützer's installation these two variables are placed into a constant flux visualised in the physical form of the plant's growth, thus documenting the mathematics within the machine's programming.
