Abstract
"Inspired by apocalyptic scenarios (in films) where survivors imaginatively put together essential products by foraging for things around them from ground zero, Forager Things presents two collections of objects that encourages us to recondition our perspectives towards mass produced items - considering a possible future where society has to relearn how to build and connect through analogue means... With the instructions porvided in this book, anyone with reasonable access to home-found and store-bought materials can participate in putting together a product or personalised mail."-- Page [4] of cover.
