The project sits halfway between documentary and fiction seeking to connect the mundane with the extraordinary by way of a speculative narrative. Stemming from the work of Gilbert Simondon and more precisely the concept of key-points, it suggests rethinking the status of humankind in relation to the machine and the world living in a post-Anthropocene era. Additionally, the desire to push the architectural discipline to the edge combined with the fascination for architectural machines such as depicted in the work of Future Systems, Archigram, Wes Jones, Liam Young, and Neil Denari, among others, led to exploring the uncommon ground that exists at the intersection between the machines and the microbes. This dramatic shift in scale and peculiar blend, allowed the machines to gain liveliness and to develop as characters for the narrative. Their actions take place within the vision of a virtual world speculating on a new nature adding up to the altered layers of the Anthropocene era.

The project was developed within the context of Laval University in Quebec.
