hiatus
The pause in posting, plus the general lack of content, is related to a design blockage. The brief for this studio is fluid and negotiable. We are ultimately aiming to produce this term a suit or a collection of objects or artefacts that relate together to express a vision of an apocalyptic future that reflects back on our fears of today. Chuck in the cult aspect, and I can tell you, its not an easy task.
So my launch point was 'what if we could sense magnetic resonance?' - based on our fear of not knowing where we are. This would allow us to be perpetually orientated, and then to become more attuned to the landscape around us and the shifting magnetic patterns of the world.
Then I took it toward the city, the possibility to sense boundaries and fields that were previously invisible. I was really inspired by the films below:
I began to think about the RDIF readers around us, waves like radio or wi-fi, and their invisible frontiers. What would it be like to interact and understand these fields, using a sense we didn't used to have? But it becomes then hard to tie it back to fears, and further to the body. I am not interested in making gloves or some other artefact with an elaborate backstory. It should be simple and clever.
Take this idea from one of the other guys in the unit: our fear is about losing all the ephemeral information we produce: facebook, twitter, e-mails, texts, etc. He plans to create a machine that can crystalise these rapid communications into physical objects, understandable and tangible. Over time they might become attached to the form of the very technology that produced them – the skeleton of a computer, the frame of a phone. It is clear, it is current and it is an interesting solution with physical products.
I willingly accept any ideas you might have.

Cult
An ancient Electroreceptoid Elder, being consulted by the High Priests about what the Dark Side of the Moon looks like. The temple is made of diamagnetic material, and the oculus is the Elder's sole source of exposure, a magnetic Camera Obscura.
