Introduction:
IMPRACTICAL THINGS is a series of things that challenge and oppose the prevailing productive order in a peaceful way.

IMPRACTICAL THINGS is equipped with a QR code that refers to this manual.
IMPRACTICAL THINGS is made of a biodegradable material that breaks down primarily through exposure to sunlight and water until it is eventually consumed and metabolised by bacteria.

Construction:
IMPRACTICAL THINGS uses 3D printer technology and 3D drawing programs. Shapes are either scanned, drawn or simply sampled directly from the internet. AI technology is not used in the creative process.
IMPRACTICAL THINGS can be seen as a kind of homemade rapid geological process where information, language, cultural symbols etc. are deposited as fossils and embedded layer by layer. Out of this emerges a new material that can be moulded and used further.
Background:
Unlike most things from N55, which have an immediate practical function beyond being part of an artistic exchange, IMPRACTICAL THINGS cannot be used for practical purposes as such.
Ownership:
IMPRACTICAL THINGS by N55 is released under Creative Commons licence CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
Economy:
IMPRACTICAL THINGS is funded by N55, with primary financial support coming from the fair production and distribution of XYZ CARGO cargo bikes.
