[*https://internet.flowers*](https://internet.flowers) is a digital garden made from flowers taken directly from the artist's personal browsing history. Using a Chrome extension she built, every website she visits is scanned and an AI model she trained searches through all the images on those pages to find flowers. When a flower is detected, it is cropped and saved. Over time, all the collected flowers are added to the "garden."
Each flower is quite literally a piece of the artist’s own personal data and, by selling these flowers as bouquets, Mika intentionally leaks and trades her private browsing data.
This project is part of Mika’s ongoing interest in digital footprints, data as currency, and the hidden systems behind personalized advertising. It offers a quiet but direct look at how online behavior is constantly tracked, collected, and monetized, often without our full awareness. *https://internet.flowers* makes this process visible by turning private data into something beautiful, publicly exposed and openly traded.
