• The dream of self-sufficiency and sustainability has become true. Everyone is now able to produce goods, to communicate with anyone without being charged or tracked and to fulfil their basic needs without forgoing modern conveniences.


  The project is based on two main opposing inspirations: research trips to learn about ‘intentional communities’ like the Amish, who neglect technological progress, and an extrapolation of current scientific research that embraces technological alterations of nature. The outcome of the project is a fantastical caravan, a nomadic module of illusionary freedom, which explores our belief in technological progress. This enabler questions our human desires.
