This is a story inspired by a belief system, “Cargo Cult”; ritual acts with hopes for the arrival of goods.

Cargo, in this case, is a collection of ideas and values that seem to be diminishing in current times, reflecting my hope and optimism for a kinder perspective from which I’d like to observe the surroundings.

Borrowing Braille, these ideas are indexed within each block and transmit the information both in the visual and tactile state.

Glitch, harnessing the same ingredients but without the sequence, gives us a result that is a faint pattern of the Thing that could have been.

Robert Irwin’s approach of “Seeing Is Forgetting the Name of the Thing One Sees” helps us imagine the attitude where we can begin to decode the congenital exterior and meet the Thing as if it were our first time.
