Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 8: Factory 5.0 is an immersive exhibition by Aditya Mandlik at Nine Fish Art Gallery. It blends human innovation and natural processes to redefine the boundaries of creation and collaboration. The exhibition is scheduled to run from 4 October 2024 to 30 October 2024, inviting visitors to explore these artworks between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. at the Nine Fish Art Gallery, Mumbai.
This Pavilion envisions a future where design transcends human-centred thinking, fostering deeper collaboration with nature. The installation is composed of 546 digitally manufactured wooden elements, 210 Styrofoam plates, and 10,000 non-human collaborators—enclosed in transparent acrylic containers—and challenges contemporary urban environments. Styrofoam represents matter once believed impossible to decompose – plastic. Through this collaboration with nature, the Pavilion demonstrates how decomposition itself can become an act of creating architecture.
At the heart of the exhibition is the “Factory” concept, illustrating how creation can flourish through the cooperation of human innovation and natural systems. The installation embodies co-creation, where diverse approaches converge to reshape the future of our habitats. This living structure engages visitors in a dynamic experience where their movements influence light, subsequently affecting the worms’ activity, thus fostering a dialogue between nature and design, continuously reshaping itself.
As the Pavilion undergoes a curated ageing process, the plates gradually develop openings, orchestrating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. At the conclusion of the exhibition, these plates will be frozen as ‘objects of memory,’ capturing the essence of time and space. Factory 5.0 redefines creation as a collaborative process, inviting reflection on the post-anthropocentric future, where human and non-human collaborators begin to coexist towards a symbiotic future.
