The boundary between the offline and online, or the physical and the digital, blurs into irrelevance. The Garden of Internet Delights, as the title suggests, reworks Hieronymous Bosch's eminent painting, The Garden of Earthly Delights. Where Bosch's creatures and structures exhibit a fleshly, organic character – evoking the sense that they might have been somehow grown and cultivated, or fused and grafted together – Jonathan Leong's garden is instead populated through a process more akin to assemblage and quotation, bringing together the iconography of present-day consumer technology and popular internet memes, and composing them within the framework of Bosch's garden.
