Afkvæmi
Afkvæmi eru snagar unnir úr íslenskum við og
kanna möguleika staðbundinnar framleiðslu.
Verkið er rannsókn á formi, tækni og framleiðslu þar sem handverk verður svar við háum kostnaði iðnaðarframleiðslu. Í ferlinu er skoðað hvernig móta má íslenskan við í nytsamlegan hlut fyrir daglegt líf.
About The Hemp Bicycle Project
The Hemp Bicycle project is a proposal for an exploration of hemp cultivation
in Iceland.
The project focuses not on the material but rather on sharing and gathering
knowledge, build and be integrated into the community interested in cultivat-
ing the plant. The exploration would be in the form of a pilgrimage, traveling
around the country finding people working or interested in hemp and work
with them in processing their material and replanting the hemp.
The trip would me made on this bike factory consisting of dehiscing tools sep-
arating the seeds from the plant and the meat from the fibers and a combing
station made to separate the husk and the wool fibers from the long ones.
“I will make my way to farmers growing industrial fiber hemp and do the
processing with them, separating seeds from plant and making clean fibers
for material use. I would load my dispenser with seeds and bike around their
plot dispersing them for next harvest. We would exchange information and
knowledge and I would get payment in the form of fiber for the work I do. After
that I would make my way to the next one creating a network of farmers and
hobbyists that could work together to build up valuable knowledge and an
industry using hemp as a stable material.”
The Final Belief System
The Final Belief System is a speculative installation that presents artificial intelligence as a future belief structure. The work imagines Al moving beyond its role as a tool and becoming an evolving intelligence. Right now, the Intelligence lives within computer networks.
Its body is man-made, built from materials taken from nature. Through time and evolution, it will grow back toward those origins, residing in trees, stones, energy systems and living networks. It will become one with its surroundings, circulate through the world and become the final belief system. The installation includes a written text, prayer chair, pedestal, manifesto, sound box, virtual soundscape and embossed aluminium drawing.
Náttúran er eitt það dýrmætasta á þessari jörðu.
Sem manneskjur ber okkur skylda til að koma fram
við hana af virðingu. Á víð og dreif um Ísland má
sjá skítugan klósettpappír ásamt berskjölduðum
lortum sem lúra í skjóli náttúrunnar. Verkefnið
Þegar náttúran kallar miðar að því að vekja umræðu
um umgengni okkar við náttúruna og varpa nýju
ljósi á þá eðlilegu athöfn að kúka úti í náttúrunni.
Með sérhönnuðu kúkasetti er fólk hvatt til þess að
endurhugsa framkomu sína og styrkja tengingu við
náttúruna, með áframhaldandi hegðun mun landið
fyllast af skítugum klósettpappír og mannasaur. Þótt
náttúran kalli, þýðir það ekki að við megum skilja allt
eftir okkur þegar við svörum.
