Machinic Convergency.

Through the collection and conflation of datasets, Melbourne is idealised as a city that harbours retention, individualism, and agricultural dislocation. As such, social isolation, public exploitation, and environmental destruction ensue.

Machinic Convergency clashes rituals together based on their geometries and the average period of occupation throughout the day. The “Shared Space” emerges, as a result, linking two adjacent programs to one another. These spaces offer programmatic flexibility throughout the day, as their configuration derives from the adjacent programs. The long-term malleability of programmatic difference is suited by having moveable floorplates and submerging furniture. By data-mining the newfound programmatic composition, the organisation of spaces is re-instated to choreograph moments of sublime, fixation, and voyeurism.

Voyeurism is a significant element when combating the dislocation of food production and consumption. The current framework exploits this separation to engage in environmental destruction and exploitation of people, as Big Food’s focus is primarily on capital. The food apparatus not only meets Melbourne's food demands but also connects its inhabitants visually to its processes. The passive and active interaction with the food cycle at all stages breaks the concealment of malpractice. As a result, Machinic Convergency promotes ethical, social, and environmental improvements upon the current system.

Machinic Convergency challenges social and environmental issues in Melbourne by converging rituals together along with food production and consumption.
