Modern city life is strongly influenced by the impact of Industrial Revolution. Once people become unsatisfied with the present situation and expect to make it better, one would choose between looking forward or looking back. David Greene trys to pull the city scene back to nature by his project Rockplug and Logplug.
In Rockplug, 'the fake lump of rock that hide a high tech network node and power supply', David intends to make people still enjoy the modern life with electricity and other technology in a man-made wild environment. This project aims to get people out of those architectures designed mostly from the aspects of engineering and structure.
As a result, people would live in a city which looks like pasture or forrest, in another word, the city would pretend to be nature. However, it is not changed into nature but still a city, because it's merely a visual but not virtual nature, where people freed out of these iron prisons yet live in the usual way. The imformation they get passitively is in conflict with what they're doing. In my opinion, only when one believes a space as nature in his mind subjectively, would the space become wild to him. So what I attempt to do is just on the contrary, finding the place pretending to be dull, where man could act free and simple like a horse galloping on a pasture.when he believes as nature in his own will.
