Industrial design has taken many forms in the past decades, and some of them have endured. The manual of mass-produced technical products have kept on featuring pseudo-technical diagrams of your most recent purchase. But for now, you will ignore it and assume that its use will be intuitive enough for you to manage. Only when you have a problem with it will you explore this little piece of literature, and discover that you've been doing it wrong all along.

This moka piece is a mix of different cultural perspectives on the service manual exercise. The moka pot's European orientalist origin is blended with the idiomatic Swedish brand naming shenanigans and the 80s Japanese service manual schematics aesthetics.

Un de mes frères s’est envolé hier. Ou avant-hier, je ne sais plus. Il a vendu du lest pour sortir une fille. Une bourrasque soudaine les a emportés, lui et ses deux tickets de cinéma.

Cela fait bien trois semaines que nous n’avons pas eu de livraison. Pas de courrier non plus, par la même occasion. J’en reçois rarement. Je n’ai jamais reçu qu’une lettre, en réalité. C’était une longue lettre épistolaire de mon ami Dino. Il est cowboy, dans une cité voisine. 

Mon frère connaissait cette fille depuis bien cinq ou six ans. Il étaient au collège ensemble. Il y avait encore des livraisons toutes les semaines, à cette époque. Parfois deux fois par semaine. On pouvait vendre des enclumes et acheter du petit lest. Poids pour poids, on y perdait. Mais avec ça on arrivait quand même à vivre.

C’était le temps où les rochers n’étaient pas attachés. Ils dérivaient rarement, le vent n’était pas si fort. Et ils étaient plus denses aussi. Aujourd’hui, un rocher qui n’est pas en laisse ne sera plus là demain.

À l’époque, j’étais moi-même cowboy. Je vivais avec Jacques, un bon copain. Il n’y avait rien de sexuel entre nous. On gardait les rochers. Un soir, on jouait à l’espagnolette, il m’a relancé de trois alors que j’étais atout trèfle. Vous imaginez la suite. Je ne l’ai plus jamais revu après ça.

Plus personne ne va au collège. Mon frère était d’une des dernières générations. Après ça les gens ne voyaient plus l’intérêt. Tout devient de plus en plus léger, et apprendre à lire ou écrire ne pèse rien. Plus on mine, plus on vends des enclumes, plus on peut acheter du lest. Mais comme le lest est plus cher que les enclumes, à force, la cité devient de moins en moins lourde.

Le vent est de plus en plus fort aussi. Je pense que c’est pour ça qu’il y a moins de livraisons. Il y a de moins en moins de cités qui arrivent à rester suspendues. Celle de Dino s’est envolée l’année dernière, Dino avec. Avec moins de cités à visiter par voyage, les livraisons sont moins rentables.

Avant d’être cowboy je construisais des ponts. C’est comme ça que j’ai appris à lier les rochers. Plus personne ne le fait aujourd’hui. Il faut commencer par ancrer le rocher domestique. Et après, il faut attendre. C’est la partie la plus difficile. Personne n’a appris à suffisamment attendre. Parce que plus le temps passe, plus on devient légers. Mais c’est le plus important. Il faut attendre le que rocher sauvage devienne suffisamment léger. Sinon, il emportera le rocher domestique avec lui et on aura tout perdu.

Je me demande pourquoi il a acheté ces deux tickets de cinéma. C’est toujours le même film qui passe. Je ne l’ai jamais vu. Ça parle de dialectique et de maçonnerie, il paraît. Le cinéma c’est un domaine que je trouve trop contraignant. Encore une idée de bureaucrate. Places assignées. Horaires fixes. Un processus administratif au profit de la structure sociale. Classique. Les bureaucrates commencent toujours par nous exploiter et ils finissent par nous aliéner. “Servir le peuple”, ils appellent ça. 

Cela fait des années que le pont est de moins en moins solide. De toutes les façons, on n’a rien pour le réparer. Nos rochers sont domestiqués depuis le temps, mais ils s’entrainent les uns les autres au lieu de se stabiliser. La suspension des cités, ça a l’air simple mais ça ne l’est pas vraiment. Quand elles ont été construites, avec les machines-outils des livreurs, elles étaient bien suspendues. Mais peu à peu, elles se sont dégradées. La seule richesse des cités, c’est leur gravité. Pourquoi réparer ce qui est destiné à s’envoler ?

Je comprends pourquoi mon frère a vendu du lest. Après tout, le lest est là pour être vendu tant qu’il vaut encore quelque chose. Jeudi dernier, le pont est tombé. Notre deuxième rocher majeur est toujours relié par la chaine des rochers mineurs, mais elle ne va pas tenir longtemps. La cité va s’envoler bientôt. Peut-être demain ou après-demain. Je vous laisse, je dois aller miner.

Cités nuageuses #235

Everyone remembers what they were doing when they first heard about it. I was trying to scrape peanut butter from the bottom of the jar with a knife. School bell rings at 4, I’m usually home by 4:12, it must have been 4:17 when I heard the news. The kitchen radio is always on. They interrupted the song and told everyone to stop what they were doing and to look up.

I looked up and saw the kitchen’s ceiling. Then I heard people shouting outside and I saw it through the window. The grid. White lines in the sky. Impossibly tall. Impossibly light. Impossibly bright. I ran upstairs to my room. I opened the door wide and climbed on the roof through the window. It made the sun look so small. I climbed down. I changed into my evening clothes and closed the door of the cupboard. It’s important to close the cupboard otherwise it blocks my room’s door and you can’t open it from the outside anymore.

It's been three weeks now. It’s been both a very short time and an eternity. Everyone keeps talking about it. Everyone has a theory about it. Self-proclaimed specialists yield more and more explanations. Everyone thinks they’re right, thinks that they know what the grid means, that they broke the cypher. I have a theory too. I didn’t tell anyone. I wrote it on a notebook that I keep in my desk, opposite the cupboard. I have to close the cupboard otherwise it blocks my room’s door and you can’t open it from the outside anymore.

My theory is that there is no meaning to the grid. It’s there as a distraction. While we’re thinking about it, we forget about the rest. They made the grid to fascinate us while they were spreading. They’re making progress and we still haven’t realized it. To be honest, I’m surprised their plan works so well. A grid, whatever kind of grid it is, is a very low effort form of visual representation. And still, people are fascinated. This is the only thing they talk about. It shines brighter than the moon during the night. It’s everywhere. The only place where I can’t see it’s light is in my cupboard. I should not forget to close the cupboard otherwise it blocks my room’s door and you can’t open it from the outside anymore.

I’m getting ready. I don’t have a hunting license yet. I was supposed to start taking shooting lessons in September, but that’s still months away. They won’t wait for me. I took a long knife in the kitchen. My parents haven’t noticed. They don’t notice much in normal times either. I hid it in my bed, between the frame and the mattress. I have a baseball bat in the cupboard. I always close it otherwise it blocks my room’s door and you can’t open it from the outside anymore. 

Many people don’t come to school anymore. I have two good friends in my class, they still come. In the larger group of people I talk to everyday, maybe half don’t come anymore. Parents don’t say anything. Maybe they don’t know? Teachers don’t really teach anyway. They’re fascinated like the rest of them. We don’t really understand why. It’s like they all suddenly found how the world works. Or maybe they all found that the world doesn’t work in a particular way, that none of it matters. Either way, every time I get back home and write in my notebook, I realize it’s getting worse. Yesterday I thought I should hide it somewhere else, like in the cupboard. I hope I closed the cupboard otherwise it blocks my room’s door and you can’t open it from the outside anymore.
 
I came home an hour ago. My parents are not there yet. I don’t know if they ever will come back. I just climbed into my room to check on my notebook. I had left it at the usual spot in my desk in the end. I opened it, took a pen, and then it slowly dawned on me. I took a pen and put in in my mouth as if I was pondering on what to write. The knife is too far, I’ll never get to it. The chair is sturdy but it’s too heavy. The door of my cupboard is always closed otherwise it blocks my room’s door and you can’t open it from the outside anymore. Then why is it slightly open?

Metasyntax is an abstract work on dimensionality.

Syntax is theoretically unidimensional. A syntactic sequence can provide meaning from the interaction between its elements. This sequence is symbolized by a series of shapes piled along a single axis. These shapes can either overlap by themselves, of through their respective spheres of infuence. As such, they collectively project a simple representation of what is at stake with syntactic relationships among lexical agents.

The "meta" aspect is intuitive: this work is an abstract representation of unidimensionality that yields a two-dimensional image computed from a three-dimensional paradigm.

The twist of Metasyntax is hence to be an abstract projection that is quite literally what it is.

I would have named it "Facepot", but this would have been a little big ambiguous. A flowerpot is a pot in which you put flowers, but you cannot put faces inside a pot. Plus, here, the faces are outside the pot. Hence the name.

These pots are anaverse-enabled. You can use them to put your plants or try to throw a ball from a distance. This is harder than it looks.

This piece is the result of a long and therapeutic reflection. It projects a representation of an inner temple, shrine, or sanctuary where on can come and find peace by pondering on what went wrong in the outside word.

The conceptual research behind the primary intention is one of balance, of an equilibrium between nature and culture. The "natural" part, which is centered around the cascade, is painted on a series of two-dimensional canvases that either remain still or are animated at a very low frame rate. The reference to late XXth century Japanese anime is explicit. The "cultural part", or shrine, contrasts with this background. It is based on a three-dimensional THREE-generated interactive (on hover) high frame rate structure moved into perspective and blended into the scene.

Everyone should have their own particular sanctuary. Each element (day buildings/night stars/rocks/tree/interactive idols/shrine structure) is generated on mint. More documentation available on Twitter.

Merry Christmas everyone!

What does it mean to live together? What is the plan? What are we doing here? By that, I do not mean that I want to know what you are doing as an individual person, but rather what the whole of us is to achieve. Am I responsible for myself or am I responsible for you too? Am I responsible for what every single person does, or for what we collectively do as a group? Both? Neither?

Trame communale is a generative architecture project.

The generator is made to produce 64 iterations of buildings whose structures are consistent with most plastic bricks brands.

Iterations can be virtually loaded in the anaverse under a new "village" system, which loads them all in a same space (positioned according to their order of creation).

Every owner inhabits the same commune.

How easily does the human mind project faces on symmetrical images?

This work aims to show that that bar can be very low. A few pixels on a dozen lines can evoke eyes and a nose, sometimes a mouth. 

As the number of lines rises, however, the number of detectable faces rises too. Different people might project on different "facial pseudo-features".

The mask, simple as it is, does not show the same face to the people who look at it.
