| When the TRG team first sat down to think about the 'what', why' and 'how' of the project, we contemplated we collectively envision as transient realities and how we can generate them. Passages through semi-permeable layers between spaces of varying density (gaseous/liquid, solid/malleable...) were a popular starting point. We were musing about situations occurring on the periphery of perception, in which our normalised behaviour becomes unbalanced and our sense of reality tricked by mixtures of tangible and intangible phenomena. Quickly the conversations became quite abstract on one hand, while too goal driven on the other (i.e. we have only a few months to build this thing, whatever it turns out to be). In order to avoid becoming both too caught up in conceptual fantasies, as well as too quickly making design decisions, we proceeded to contextualise transient reals in everyday life. It appeared that the occurrences of temporary intrusions, blends and mutations of different realities are quite common phenomena in everyday life; | When the TRG team first sat down to think about the 'what', why' and 'how' of the project, we contemplated we collectively envision as transient realities and how we can generate them.
