For our third week assignment in the Softness of Things class we were asked to explore connections.

I was really hesitant since I was not sure how to approach. I had been toying around with the idea of Moss and nature, the idea of floating devices, the idea of food as connector. I read the reading which talked about the different connections made in nature, rhizomes and roots.

I decided to go with food. Taking a cue from the Brazilian restaurants, where you are brought unlimited grilled meat in swords until you are satisfied and show a red stop sign or green go sign. I wanted to have something that would indicate when a bowl of soup was full or empty.

So I used soup to complete a circuit, and discovered that water is not necessarily enough of a conductor, it needs salt. Ramen was a very good conductor.

so here are some pictures.

never get to part before Oaxaca at night. it sucks, it gets all curvy and and all double trailer semi take the road. apparently its better for the motor, and tires since they are cool. Plus the road is less travelled.

Some of them are quite aware that the road is not their and can signal you, but even with that is not advisable to take that road at night.
