A reinvented city, populated by temporary structures for production. A circus tent hosting a nomad corporate factory; an undergroud lab to produce on the black market; a mobil ecenter for replicating anything, including itself.
How does the shape of the city chaange with the advent of disseminated technologies for the production of objects? How do consumism, labour and intellectual property change?
The scenario, relations and life of the city, the scanning of its time and dynamics remix and recombine, defining a new real.
From the author:
"The factories are coming to town! They are moving away from the unseen fringes, and into our cities. Advances in micro-scale engineering point to a global scale revolution where local, disposable factories produce hi tech goods at our very doorstep. What shapes might this new way of “making things” take within our urban landscape ? From garage-workshops to circus-like temporary structures, from street vendor stalls to vagabond encampments, this project explores the factories of the future and what our relationship to them might be, with the exciting prospect of taking back ownership over our production tools."
