Apparatus 3.
nPermanencies tractatus

Designed in collaboration with New-Territories

(n)Permanencies Tractatus is a small experimental shelter that assumes an ephemeral existence. It is an intuition of a prototype that appears as a footprint or a screenshot of our situation of decay… It metabolises the deadly chemical greenish artefacts (proliferating invasive algae) that come from chemical fertilisers (NPK, nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus) for industrial agriculture (junk food) into a design process and protocol that questions weakness and lifespan, about “how time passes”, without ignoring or abolishing the adrenaline-dopamine risk of being alive, in its nomadic process of (n)Permanence.
