Gear + Tooth
Just a cog in the financial department
This piece looks at the multifaceted structure of the mind and human function. Exploring the irregularity of intern codes and patterns within the codified and systematic nature in within humans seem to operate to maintain a sense of order and routine within a chaotic environment. Often the systems within – which never have an off – are forgotten and unnoticed by an observer.
What would happen if the apparatus was displayed on the body in tandem, working in synchronicity and independently, allowing the natural ebbs and flow to arise, bringing the network outside?
