The works in this series originate theoretically from the polysemic use of the Triangle in Japanese Culture, which can serve as a quantum-mechanical symbol whose meaning changes depending on observation (its usage). Unlike symbols like the Circle or the Cross that have fixed interpretations ("yes" and "not", respectively), the Triangle encompasses many meanings such as 'doubt,' 'neither,' 'uncertainty,' 'don't know,' and 'indifference,' among many others. Each project in the series embodies the complexities of this symbol in Japanese social communication while conceptualizing Speculative Inventions at the interplay between fact and fiction, focusing on redefining dwelling limits. Dwelling, in this context, includes (1) Dwelling in an immediate area, (2) the Body as a dwelling, and (3) Dwelling in the larger societal context. Inspired by The International Chindogu Society (Kenji Kawakami, 2009) and The Hyperspace Research Institute (John St.Clair, 2002-2005), the series explores ideas like a Financial Control Smart Contract, Reality Distortion Wearables, a Nano-Opioid analgesic, and a God-like Hypothetical megastructure.
