From Jeferson Branco

Welcome to t3chno.SWAMP – The project conjures the image of a swamp while simultaneously pointing towards the future, suggesting a space that is in constant transition and transformation. The notion of a "swamp" evokes a vast, diverse, and marshy locale where primordial soups have always simmered and from which life originated.

Here, nature and technology blend and reinvent themselves in a continuous cycle. The project serves as a reminder that the swamp is not only a place of origin but also one of innovation and discovery.

A humorous blend between biophilia and high-tech, it emphasizes the duality between ancestry and futurism, provoking thoughts on “where we come from and where we are going.”

The manifesto environment is a critique of technology, prompting us to reflect on whether we have already become cyborgs, our bodies in symbiosis with cell phones, the use of gadgets, health implants, and aesthetic enhancements.

It features avant-garde design and decor pieces representing the new faces of Brazilian design in a remix with already established pieces, deliberately raising questions about the timelessness of life. What we appreciate today may no longer make sense tomorrow. What no longer makes sense today may have guided our lives until yesterday.

Thus, even in the Portuguese language, the future of the past tense expresses uncertainty and surprise, used to refer to something that could have occurred after a situation in the past.

Could a project then be more than a supposition filled with surprises or uncertainties?

Welcome to the future.
