::STRANGE FRUIT::

Physical Prototype #01


plants are bio-machines that harvest the sun's light and converts it to alternative forms of energy.
strange fruit is a prosthetic that latches onto this cycle.
it is a low-cost, distributed system that operates on principle of massive redundancy.

'fruits' of different sizes are then used to power a variety of low-technology devices.

Is a Brick Wall more Primitive than Hollow Wall Partitions?

A brick wall is simpler and more direct. It has a supply chain length of two: kiln, to wall. A Hollow Wall partition on the other hand, is light. But this lightness has behind it a long chain of research and production.

If we are to imagine a new world, I am one to favour the brick wall. The Partition is entangled in a supply-chain mesh. With it are a whole host of hierarchies that enable it.

If we want a new world, we need to simplify to rebuild.
