The Anthropocene has brought upon an abundance of virtuality artifacts, our perceptual reality is tempered with the fragmentation of memory across the forever mutating, growing, repeating, and changing negotiation across the resemblance of the past, the temporal within the present, and the indeterminacy of the unknown future. The notion of time in shaping subjectivity is accumulated by an ontological growth in the empirical experience upon reality. The ‘Becoming’ of who we are today as subject and object in the age of enlightenment is transient, and yet we never question the epistemological truth in the existence of time and space that could transcend through eternality.
This project captivates the metamorphic value and Sacred grounds in the ‘Becoming’ of an individual virtual towards knowledge, information, belief and intangible thoughts within the tangible reality. The power to temper with the notion of time by examining the digital artifacts we leave behind and how they are archived, representing a digital fingerprint of subjectivity and society. It proposes a self-constructing evolving structural parasitic organism that ontologically grows, sutures and heals the known tangible world in a form of anarchitecture. Manifests itself as the ‘Becoming’ of both macro, micro healing by attaching to existing deadspace, resurrecting the city by recycling human wastes into a renewable self-sustaining machine in both material reuse and power plant. An eco-system that reconstructs both the tangible and intangible existence, the passivity of our digital footprint intertwine with the growing mutation as new data is created. An ever-growing and mutating digital archive database provides cultivation space, sanctuary of sharing, and archival space for all kinds of digital data, for both recall and collection. Representing the current anthropological moment in pushing the boundary beyond time and space, an intersection towards collective ideas, thoughts, and memory in formulating the intangible networking across the city. A new form of nature is created across the urban fabric of a city, which teases the intangible fabric within the tangible existence.
