| Reciprocal Energy |
2008 |
1/10 |
This project seeks to draw attention to a particular problem: the fact
that automobile drivers and their automobiles are not yet sufficiently
well assembled. In effect, when the human body uses a machine, it
economises a certain quantity of energy. The energy provided by the
ingestion of food is then stored in the form of fats. At the same
time as the automobile driver stores energy and accumulates fat,
the automobile consumes fossil fuel and wastes energy resources.
Why not couple man and machine in order to resolve both the problem
of obesity and the energy crisis? The automobile could in fact acquire
its energy directly from the driver. This coupling would make possible
an intimate reciprocity between man and machine. Moreover, the use
of fat as a fuel would contribute to resolving the problem of which
it is itself a symptom by maintaining the resource both renewable
and accessible. |
