PORTA by

@salomonsportstyle
PORTA is a collection of data gathered from a collaborative, research-project between ATT and Salomon Advanced. As the PORTA crew-members emerge within 4 different maps, sent in to test equipment, a sense of unrest beckons.
Over the next 10 days we’ll be sharing the data-fable of PORTA.

Intro text:
“When Salomon extended their advanced range - stretching four environments - the ATT mechanism began to turn, curating a framework for equipment testing via data vessels presenting as human. The ‘new’ is juxtaposed with the ‘ancient’, high-tech on the mountainside; the constructed contrasts the organic, ATT’s advanced bio-scanning sensors encountering the flora and fauna.
And of course, questions arise to help us understand form: is the experimental, augmented capacity Salomon instigates so dissimilar to that of an upgrade to a digital avatar? Play a video game for long enough and your [data vessels’] ghostlike ability to spawn into new locations or disembody their perspective can bleed into waking perception.
These oppositions feed into a sense of displacement, a misalignment they [data vessels] have brought to this place, now able to access the field maps: Udara, Neuva, Orava, Tepiaz. Through this journey, can the experienced rupture be healed through the reconciliation of people and the environment?“
