COLLASUS OFFICE FOR COLLABORATIVE SUSTAINABILITY
is an interdisciplinary network interested in advancing the radical in everyday life. The office began as an Internet based platform to maintain collaboration amongst the founding members when overseas and across the country. The office is held together by the ubiquitous infrastructure of the Internet: skype calls, google docs, dropbox, blogging, wikipedia, and faithfully uncredited research. But it cannot deny the real muck that we exist in: compost, dirt, suburban developments, gentrified urban ghettos and dayjobs. COLLASUS seeks to develop the interactivity of these two worlds. The virtual allows for consistently new territories of exploration, while the muddy substrate allows for cultivation. We recognize architecture, installation, curation and research as the fruits of our labor, but only insofar as they provide the hyperlink to the next project. In this way, COLLASUS is websurfing, it is simultaneously structure and content. It is the way we find information and it informs what we look for.
