CO-FOUNDER OF THE DESIGN COLLECTIVE: MILK
MILK CREATES LOUD SYSTEM CHALLENGING STRUCTURES; DEVICES DESIGNED TO COLLECTIVELY ACQUIRE, DEVELOP AND DISTRIBUTE KNOWLEDGE AROUND UNSUSTAINABLE ATTITUUDES & ACTIONS. Space Sucks is an abandoned Space Station. A long-forgotten relic from the race to Mars between Space X, Virgin Atlantic and Blue Origins, all companies owned by the world's billionaires. Space Sucks is a cautionary tale of hubris, greed and capitalism. Lo-fi earth footage, projected nostalgically on the dome walls. What was once cordoned to our blue planet has been transposed to the red planet fuelled by illusions of limited resources, greed, competition and privatisation for financial gain. As the billionaires shed the histories of earth off of their shoulders like a silk smoking jacket and start all over again on Mars, to them we say SPACE SUCKS.
In situ - what we value is what we see outside the dome and projected onto its walls - human connection, plant kind, dance, music, nature, community, touch, trees, anarchy - Shangri-la. The powers of humankind working circularly within our planetary boundaries.
