fragile future






Limited Edition of 200 Modules for around 8 installations.

Fragile Future tells the story about the amalgamation of nature and technology. In the distant future these two extremes have made a pact to survive. Fragile Future combines an electronical system with real dandelions in a lightsculpture that is predestined to overgrow a surface. Electronics are driven by the natural survival instincts.

The fragile installation protects itself by pretending to be out of order when someone comes too close (optional). This is the same mechanism as a poppy that drops its petal when you pick it, or a ladybird that acts as dead in your hand when caught.

Design by Lonneke Gordijn's for her cum laude Design Academy graduation project in 2005.

Both Fragile Future I and II are built by the designer Lonneke Gordijn for info and rates please send her a mail to lonneke@designdrift.nl.
