OpenAutarky – Living without electricity {Eindhoven – 2012}

What would you miss the most without electricity? How do things work? How could things be otherwise? Starting from these 3 questions, we wanted to tap into the creative potential of people around the world, helping them to understand energy and asking them to propose solutions of an energy-less life.

This is an attempt to take a step out from our subjective criteria, and understand the different representation that energy has for each person, and how they can come to solutions for this lack or loss.

We did an Open Platform for sharing ideas and knowledge in off-the-grid and free-energy living, called Open Autarky. As a campaign to invite people to participate, we did a set of videos, which imagined different of energy-less scenarios and how different people could compensate the loss.
