Velcro Grass





So basically, what happens when nature gets like way too intense? When the immensity of it just doesn't seem real? When it makes you want to just rip it apart to see whats underneath all of it? Like cutting through it with scissors and then gluing it back together? Velcro Grass 3000 might be a way to solve this impulse. By making grass removable with velcro, you can take it anywhere you want to go or simply un-patch the grass the way you would velcro on a shoe. Those desires to "un-patch the grass" are possible with a few easy steps. The process is under construction, creators are on standby.

Here's what a few people had to say about Velcro Grass 3000:

"Yeah, you know, I've like been having this tick to rip off the tiny patch of grass from its lawn in front of the 7-Eleven. But like how do I do that without being able to patch it back?"

-Carol Steinbeck, Los Angeles

"In the future, whose idea of public velcro grass and order will be in velcro spaces? That is perhaps the greatest question we have to face. You can look at a landscape and you can see it as perfect in itself. Or you can look at it as undeveloped velcro grass. Those are very two different points of view. Who will make the public velcro grass in that space?"

-Julia Roberts, Mona Lisa Smile

"I think being able to displace your intuitive senses of the grass calls to our attention the ability to displace the projections we place upon it. If only we could do this on an emotional level. Imagine being able to un-patch any feelings of anger or guilt. That would be the next step, to alleviate aggressive states of mind through velcro."

-Pema Chodron Rinpoche, Nova Scotia

"We're still working on dismantling all those old binary oppositions and the differences between the grass and un-patching. All those 'un-patchings' and all those grasses are really part of a large framework of centers and margins all together."

-Tony Hedgewick, Lincolin, Nebraska

I can not participate now in discussion - it is very occupied. I will return - I will necessarily express the opinion.
