Abstract

Does a floor tile made of hand-harvested dog fur, felted on mycelium block, enable a different conversation about modes of coexistence?

‘Hardware Stories’ proposes a reflection on the role of speculative models and prototypes as tools to approach, envision, and provoke debate about possible/plausible alternative worlds.
The project proposes a counternarrative to modernist hygienist standardization, in relation to an understanding of the symbiotic nature of living organisms. It is a set of diegetic prototypes of construction elements, with relative manufacturing and maintenance tools, and is showcased through a floor component. It suggests to consider DIY practices as a form of mundane resistance that can empower multiple actors as a practice of material activism.
Through the exploration of material sourcing, properties, manufacturing processes, and installation, 'Hardware Stories' elaborates how these enable to conceive different relationships of cohabitation and alternative human-non-human arrangements.
