As Deformed Fragments Get Informed

Part 2 Project 2024

Through minimisation of entropy and exclusion of ambiguity, information gives the city a form that is increasingly categorised and predictable, while the value of deformation is overlooked in the process of urbanisation. The project critiques this adversarial effect of information and proposes a reassembly pipeline to subvert the parallel condition between financial cycles and machine learning processes.

The pipeline assigns various information to the unused equipment and its parts - weight, locations, images, point clouds and material characteristics data. By relentlessly informing the deformed and providing a public interface for all, the entropic object become operative.

This new industry of obsessive capture accumulates traits into discarded fragments, allowing new characters to emerge through an open interface. The captured data is distributed redundantly across London as a repository network, archiving the progression of urbanisation through the lens of the deformed.
