Description
Explore the subtle power of language in shaping economic realities. This project presents 'linguistic seeds'—clay tablets unearthed in rural Mozambique. They contains a low tech solution for resilience. It offers an alternative to complex AI. Inspired by the oral traditions, it's a narrative artifact, representing a community's response, it aims to reveal how carefully crafted language can build trust and facilitate essential exchanges in times of crisis. It questions our assumptions about communication and control.
Context
The world is fractured, recovering from a global economic meltdown caused by unchecked AI financial systems. Rural communities, once marginalized, now hold valuable knowledge rooted in sustainable practices and resilient communication. The landscape is scarred by abandoned technological infrastructure, yet vibrant with pockets of self-sufficient communities. Oral traditions are revived, and a renewed emphasis on local bartering and resourcefulness replaces the failed globalized economy. Mistrust of complex technology is pervasive, leading to a resurgence of low-tech, human-centered solutions.
Provocation
This project explores the power of language in economics. It is vital that we address the misinformation issue. Current trajectories show an over-reliance on AI. How does this impact us all? Consider how the simplified language promotes trust. What alternative solutions can be built for a global crisis?
Nhampossa_8632's process
Inspired by environmental activism and oral traditions of Mozambique, Nhampossa draws from imagined ecological practices. Applying comparative linguistics, Nhampossa developed detailed lexicons and grammatical structures for the artifacts. Nhampossa crafts an intricate fictional history for this project, blending historical accounts with poetic imagery. They meticulously explore how linguistic shifts in financial communication influence societal and ecological changes. Through world-building and fictional scenarios that analyze linguistic nuances within the Fallback Language and Communication Protocol, a compelling narrative emerges, promoting critical reflection on disinformation's impact on trust and resilience in financial systems.
