Engineers wanted
I don’t want to simply exist in the world. I don’t want to spend my time surrounded by immutable objects, constructions designed by others with the intention of my lifestyle fitting them rather than them being designed to fit me. I want to be more than a simple consumer; I want to be a creator. I want to shape the world to fulfil my own desires, my own needs, to be a different state to how I found it, one object at a time.
To hack is to make and object do something it wasn’t designed for: to repurpose it; to re-imagine it; to make something of your own design.
A couple of cans become a phone line when connected to a taut length of string. This page becomes an origami crane when ripped out and folded.
Find something, make it something else. Do it. Consider it a challenge.
