Touch Grass P, Neil

Abstract

In the context of complete doom, the phrase “touch grass”—internet slang used to describe delusional behaviour—produces space for experimentation in cohabitation with toxic ecologies. This project reframes landfill construction as a collective act of “touching grass”, where consumer patterns and construction practice merge in continuous collaboration. Guided by a technopagan ontology of digital + analogue webs, this project wanders through gatherings where production, consumption and decomposition occur simultaneously, producing an architectural language from the landfill’s own material rhythms.
