T VG How would you best describe a city? Integrated? Chaotic? Autonomous? A large machine with individual cogs working in unison perhaps? Or would you describe it as a furnace? A furnace where different elements are added in and in the end, a single body is forged. Or perhaps a body of parts which are haphazardly sewn together? Each area having its own general product, its own general aspect. Strewn together to create a whole. Infrastructure connecting these different parts, like the circulatory system in the human body. Adapting to an ever-expanding city. That would be the description of a conventional city. Projects within are always trying to improve upon what is there.

This is where I say, fuck conventionality. Pardon the language, but it seems as the best way to describe what we have here. What we have here isn’t focused on improving the quality of life. It is focused on improving efficiency and connectivity. Everything condensed to the point where every square centimeter has a function. Condensed to a point where it becomes a black-hole, pulling in its surroundings without giving a glimpse of what’s on the inside, until one ventures within. In-turn, it is larger than your standard warehouse, larger than your standard shopping mall, larger than your conventional perception of “large”. Size creates its own context.

I will not give it all away here but Symbiocity is a statement. A statement to what can be, if not necessarily what should be. It is a movement meant to spark a bit of controversy and irony. All that is left is for you to read it. Let go of conventionality and indulge yourself.

Welcome to Symbiocity, please enjoy the ride.
