Rooted in contemporary philosophies discussing issues of disembodiment, immateriality, deterritorialization, and nomadism, my work is a reaction to my surroundings: our commoditized society, the sprawl of characterless urbanism and its disjunction with nature, and alienation from our ancestors’ knowledge of life and living beings. My focus is to eradicate the lasting impact of our mortality on our natural environment and to promote the use of our technologies to forge a new model for existence in accordance with nature.
The new model, which I call Other Earth, is based on my concept of Tentative Architecture, which is an immaterial architecture that can happen at any time and at any point in space. It is an architecture that is immediately related to the bodies occupying it and does not exist without the presence of one. Other Earth is a plan of urban structure as a rhizome. The nodes of the rhizome consist of individual nomads, living a technologically advanced, self-sufficient, and no-impact lifestyle; nomads who at any moment can break away and exist on their own, wearing their Tentative Architectures on their bodies and allowing their environment to be defined by non-material means.
