Scavenged materials
Unscattered minds
Drift is tangible.
Urban strategies, activist architecture, rethinking conservation, disaster strategies to avoid the next inevitable disaster; all need an increased knowledge of the inner, adaptive haiku within our scavenged worlds. We are all invaded and invading. Our personal infrastructure trembles. Today the imagination, the desire to be dynamic, lively, responsible, immediate and contemporary can close on itself – by program, by context, by agenda, by habit, by instruction. By violence. We all need vigilance. How then might self-insight offer the challenge of the unknown, the necessary discomfort to upset personal infrastructures? Why do we succumb to delusion, why do we default to indifference? Who is the ‘other’ that is not us?
