FUTURE
A story about rooftops, airships, robots and inflatables is an installation exploring themes of worldmaking, ecology and artificial intelligence.
Born out of observations of an emerging rooftop culture of urban gardening and alternative lifestyles in downtown LA during the pandemic, Discovery is a simulation of The Airborne Collective, a radical environmental hacker group seeking to make a flourishing roofscape ecosystem and unleash hope and optimism in the face of looming ecological threat.

GAME
ECOLOGY
FUTURE
The Catalog is a top down simulation game that models the complex phenomena of entangled systems of TAC ecology and economy. This game presents a model, a toy world with its own internally coherent reality, a world where a player can exercise a fantasy of obsessive control and visibility, observe the systems, cut into objects to look inside, dissect the world like a surgeon, or better yet, as an architect. The Catalog presents a deep dive into life simulation games as a new format for architectural design, it includes a tech tree, it names all the human and non human agents, asks for their moods and current states, in order to instantiate a pluralistic image of a World.

BEANBAGS
FLAG FOR THE AIRBORNE COLLECTIVE
Inflatable fabrication by:
Landmark creations
An inflatable is a great real life stand-in for a digital object.
It is mostly air, wrapped in a thin envelope.
A beanbag, on the other hand, presents itself as something amorphous,
unable to hold a definite shape, a kind of entropy wrapper.
The objects are emotionally active and might seem alive and breathing.
The flag of The Airborne Collective strangely embodies a yearning for a future that never was, and a nostalgia for a real place that vanished sometime in the late 20th century.
Flag generated by MidJourney Artificial Intelligence, with the prompt:
