Architectures of Polarisation




The Fragmentation Pavilion — The fragmentation pavilion, facing north, is shaped aesthetically to allow a fragment of shadow to most of the moss colony and a full year quality shadow for 10% of the moss strands.




Moss is an anti-thesis to the human's neo-capitalistic system and values. It is an uncompetitive, slow and low grower, quite sensitive to environmental changes. The moss's life cycle is not tuned according to hours, days or seasons. Rather, it is synchronized to the availability of resources, water and indirect light. Strands of the same moss colony grow in a regulated way, keeping a soft and fairly even surface.
In this project, I am trying to change the moss colony's behaviour with human-designed interventions, and use the moss as a model for provoking thoughts about neo-capitalistic paradoxes and their possible consequences. This is not about bio-mimicry but rather an aim to expose mechanisms through allegories and to point out the agents that might influence them.
The economy is a very complex and unpredictable system, market behaviour is sometimes compared to physical dynamics. Can we really control complex natural forces? What values do we really want to design for? And which agents should take part in shaping the next version of capitalism (or an alternative for it)?
Data Fossils is a speculative project imagining futuristic archaeology and alien anthropological research. Assuming a site might completely demolish and the only remnant would be digital data from photos, how might a physical restoration look like if a machine is doing an automatic translation from 2D to 3D?
