Player Piano: A Subjective Atlas of a Landscape of Labour
@ Design Biennale Saint-Etienne
→ 9 March - 9 April 2017
Player Piano is a visual and acoustic landscape by Space Caviar in collaboration with French musician Charli Tapp. Commissioned as part of the 10th Design Biennale St. Etienne directed by Olivier Peyricot, on the theme of "Mutations du Travail", it explores the timeless dream and dread of a world without work through a landscape of 33 films and a VR environment, accompanied by a live piano soundscape.
A proposed architecture of automated surreality for an era of post-scarcity, and a reconceptualisation of the wall as the most basic building block of perception.
Final design project at the AA, for Joseph Grima, Pernilla Ohrstedt and Simone Niquille.

Two bodies were scanned during sex, the resulting objects were used as a base for an ivy-growing algorithm and presented as abandoned concrete monuments over passed moments, long since lost to nature.

Eight Photo Microbial Fuel Cells (p-MFCs) harness the electrical current of photosynthesis in moss, powering 4 A/V transmitters that produce 2.4GHz noise, jamming all WiFi within 15 meters.
2nd year design project at the AA, for Manu Collado and Nacho Martin.
The technology is based on the moss-powered radio by designer Fabienne Felder and professor Paolo Bombelli at University of Cambridge, who assisted me in making a prototype. The initial idea to contain the jammer in a necklace was not technically feasible due to the fragility of the hydrogen electrodes.

I live in a future of endless purposes, detached from this machine I become like the mouldy food in my fridge; trash, since my self is only defined through its relation to the sum of all the other self’s of the cognitariat, the body I am now a part of.

"But they also add another dimension to this standardised male fantasy of girl on girl action as they add poo to the equation. By doing that they completely rewrites the cliché and instead, leaves you (of you’re not into poo) quite disturbed." - anonymous youtube comment
