Ministry of Mass - eine Entdeckung auf der Interieur - Biennale Kortrijk...

Ministry of Mass

Preface

The Ministry of Mass is a collective of makers founded in 2012 to provide comments, criticism and reflection on our current practices as a producing and consuming culture.

Western Culture is drifting away from its natural state towards an artificial state characterised by hyperconsumption, overabundance, indifference and partial attention. Consumers are presented with more choice than ever and the quality of the bulk of products has sunk to never seen lows. The remaining critical mass makes efforts to avoid the lifestyles of hyperconsumption adopted by the masses and searches for valuable objects. These objects are becoming more and more valuable as they become more scarce.

Our goal is to create a series of objects that reflect on the diminishing relation between Man and Nature and ascertains a new perspective. We wish to create a series of objects that reintroduce Nature in the Life of Man. Objects that matter.

We have studied four aspects that are deficiently represented in Western Culture yet essential for the return to our natural state. These four aspects: Reflection, Patience, Focus and Release provide a basis for the objects.

Daily life has been transformed by the arrival of technologies such as the internet, flat-screen television, and wireless phones as well as by improvements in domestic appliances like micro-wave ovens, fridge freezers and LED lights. In addition, building technologies are advancing in the wake of aerospace, marine and auto industries, enabling new opportunities for living spaces with higher performance and less material.

It is now possible to live much better on a smaller scale. The storage for books was once an essential part of learning or research, and the ownership of objects and rooms to store them in an essential expression of wealth. Today we acquire knowledge from the internet and wealth is expressed by a high degree of physical and intellectual mobility. The luxury is in the compact technologies that allow us the greatest freedom of movement.

We can now touch and be touched by the world from a tiny space. The 'm-ch' is both a luxury and necessity on a small scale, a high quality home space for short stay living.

By January 2011 there have been fifteen micro compact homes built. Installations have been made for The Museum of Modern Art in New York, UBS Bank in Zurich Switzerland, O2 Telecom in Germany and for various private clients with sites overlooking Lake Zurich and now planned for Lake Maggiore near Ascona and at Millbrook in New York State.
