Additivist Cookbook

  • Plastic as posthuman reality interface. Plastic, embed in our surroundings, mediating experience of the environment, enabling interaction with the environment.
  • Oil as thanatophilic ontology. Oil, the driving product of the 21st century - born of the dead - accelerating death - a world out of plastic understood as disposable, always dying, never really living.
  • Imprecise oil Oil media, from vinyl via cassettes (and partly to cds) and 3d printed objects are prone to errors. Inherent glitches. Blurry, pixelated inscription. Oil media - black tar slur / silicon media - blue neon light speed.
  • Deep Time Plastic “irgendwelchen post-/nicht-menschlichen ArchÀo- oder Geologen eine rÀtselhafte Schicht Polymere, Thermoplaste, Elastomere finden und sich nach dessem Ursprung fragen” - Daniel Could be a cthulhuesque story / Layers of oil replaced by layers of plastic
  • Plastic is life, life is plastic “die Evolution beginnt das Plastik zu inkorporieren, so wie sich ein Einsiedlerkrebs auch jetzt schon mit einer Tupperdose vor Àusseren EinflĂƒÂŒssen schĂƒÂŒtzt” - Daniel How plastic replaces everything.
