THE BUD EATER, 2023
A COLLABORATION WITH TOTH LAB™️with the guidance of Nicole Molle
Towards a future of an overpopulated, foraging world. Where humans lose autonomy and natural object posess decision making qualities.
The Bud Eater forages.
It lives in a future world, where humans rely on objects and excess machines to make decisions for them. Especially food decisions, where a future food fiction involves maintaining overpopulation of mass humans. How would the world feed these humans? The human loses all autonomy in such circumstances.

CONCEPT DOCUMENTS
RESEARCH:
Object oriented autonomy to become perceptory tools of what the human does not posses.
IMPORTANCE OF ROCKS:
- Rocks are endless
- Inside rocks are initially where water was found- so they are natural vessels.
- They will never cease to exist
