+ | Feral Trade http:// | ||
+ | HTTP http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | HTTP is a cultural minority in a mainly working class and cafe free | ||
+ | residential area of NE London. The cafe will be very small scale and | ||
+ | modelled as a natural extension to office tea and coffee consumption. It | ||
+ | is not motivated by cash profit, although goods should cover their own | ||
+ | costs. | ||
+ | |||
+ | All goods will be served with information about source and/or delivery, | ||
+ | including the materiality of cash transactions performed to procure them. | ||
+ | Visitors should be able to buy coffee etc either by the cup or in bags to | ||
+ | take home. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The feral trade courier process uses moving social networks, including | ||
+ | known and funded cultural travel to UK, to conduct international grocery | ||
+ | trade by primarily social means. It expands the idea of food provenance | ||
+ | beyond a gourmet-style fetishisation of origins, to a critical broader | ||
+ | ecology of supply. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The cafe hopes to promote inter-organisational trade with artistic peers, | ||
+ | local and foreign, and to expand a definition of localness beyond the | ||
+ | territorial boundaries of the village or state, to a shared set of | ||
+ | connections and navigable transit routes, like the scale-free hubs of the | ||
+ | internet. | ||
