Huy Bui's Survivalist Installation 'Beyond 0' is Self-Sustaining
Mary Van Puymbroeck — July 9, 2017 — Eco
Brooklyn-based artist Huy Bui has created an open-sourced survivalist installation.
Named 'Beyond 0,' the installation is currently on display at the 'Cooler Gallery' in Brooklyn. Designed to be "a Structure for Hope and Survival," the piece is an intersection of art, architecture and science. Bui designed this structure to act as "one big steel suitcase of all the stuff that support[s] your resilient spirit and what it might take to sustain hope for a better world."
This survivalist installation is designed to outlive the human species and includes solar panels, an irrigation system, a dog bed and more. On his website, Bui includes a complete list of materials needed to reproduce this at home and he is working on an instruction manual for the public. This intersection of art and survivalism serves as an interesting commentary on the current state of the planet.
