What made you choose the Possibility Machine project: I chose this project as it intrigued me being a blend of physical model making and conceptual art. I wanted to do something that would be hands on and manifest into a physical project of which benefits the community. Living in Shropshire, I also have a personal connection to the area; having the opportunity to work on a project and create an impact to my locality felt like an exciting prospect!

Possibility Machine 2.0: Design Manifesto

The Possibility Machine 2.0 is more than a trolley! It is a mobile catalyst for creativity, conversation, and community. Building upon the original project, we aim to expand its potential, making it more adaptable, sustainable, and engaging for all. We believe in open-ended creativity, where public spaces become platforms for artistic expression and social interaction. This new version will be a transformative, modular structure that encourages collaboration across generations, making art accessible to those who may not traditionally engage with it. We envision a trolley that is not just a tool but an experience. It will be an evolving artwork that responds to its environment and the people who interact with it.

The Possibility Machine 2.0 will explore:

+Mobility & Accessibility – ensuring it is lightweight, adaptable, and easy to transport.

+Sustainability & Innovation – integrating renewable materials and environmental awareness.

+Social Engagement – fostering a sense of ownership and participation within the community.

+Creativity Without Limits – allowing for artistic freedom through dynamic and interactive surfaces.

This project is a statement and a belief that art should move, evolve, and belong to everyone. It is an open invitation to imagine, play, and create new possibilities.
