Earthside Wish Machine

jiawen uffline’ Earthside Wish Machine creates on NATO communication technology from the 1960s. When meteors enter the atmosphere at high speeds, friction and heat create hot plasma trails that are used to reflect radio waves, resulting in extremely brief windows of opportunity for data transmission. Even today, the consistent reliability of flying meteors serves as a military fallback solution for satellite communications. With Earthside Wish Machine, jiawen uffline transforms obsolete tech into a personal wish transmitter. It establishes a network that is connected by ionized glowing air and military radar signals instead of copper or fiberglass, thus our wishes are mediated with cyclical meteors instead of strategic algorithms.
