Anything I Can Throw Weighs One Pound pairs Andrew Luk and Lite Zhang in an examination of how designed systems render their own histories and meanings null. Luk organizes industrial materials and tech objects by aesthetic function alone — a lighting grid turns out to be duck sauce packets — releasing speculative interfaces from the confines of utility. Zhang rewires traffic lights and analog radios so instruments of control become ambient or decorative, their logic of order intact but purposeless. Humor operates throughout as a method for exposing the contingency of systems we experience as fixed.
