Abstract

Humans have developed systems of extraction to harness power outside of the cycles occurring in our atmosphere. These systems use this imbalance of power to influence behaviour and reject our previous existence dominated by atmospheric flux. Additionally, they attempt to isolate pockets of inhabitation within this context, neglecting the laws of thermodynamics, which state that within our open system, nothing is isolatable; every boundary is that of thermodynamic dissipation. Despite this reality, architectural systems constantly attempt to define thresholds and enclosures, reinforcing false ideas of boundary within a universe where chaos is constantly increasing. FREESOUP.INFO introduces a deployable system to harness the abundant layer of dissipation latent in monopolizing systems in order to break down and make visible the oppressive hierarchies of power control. By occupying these false boundaries, the system feeds power back into the individual, providing a layer for free inhabitation, celebration and fun.
