This bit of the project should be interesting. So in typical fashion I couldn’t wait to start writing. Industry and industrial architecture. That’s whats been flyng around in my head. To map it’s progress good or bad is the plan….documenting in video, drawing, sound and any other means the lives of the machines and the people who operate them. You see about 51% of Zim’s population live in Harare and Bulawayo of which half that population are the youth….so I’m assuming this generation of youthfulness must play some critical role in industry somewhere….in both action and inaction. Africa is barely known for it’s industry that is why I wish to explore it’s internal mechanisms studying in particular the lives of man vs Machine…..I can imagine the drawings and video will look quite stunning.
How we go about this will be interesting……I’m assumimg starting at the key energy sources Hwange and Kariba and the people. There is also the issue of rural to rrban migration. The funny thing is in the old days these places used to be very very sacred now it’s a different story……..the question is what story. Mix and mash any ideas you have to perfect the idea until we have a perfect piece
