tony romano and tyler brett
Over the last ten years Tony Romano and Tyler Brett have   collaborated as T&T on images, models and sound works. Their melded   vision is based on advanced engineering, ingenious upcycling,   retrofitted architecture, sound ecological principles, rejigged   technology and social harmony. They combine a sophisticated but   survivalist mode of living with building strategies rooted in modernism   and practices like the Coop Himmelb(l)au in particular. With futurist   scenes of zero-footprint settlements, de-mobilized cars, wind turbines,   water wheels, solar panels, filtration systems, bio-domes and green   structures, T&T seem to propose a postapocalyptic situation that is   both optimistic and pragmatically grounded. Far from being dark and   violent, T&T have populated their futurist realities with   hobo-troubadour collectives who roam the horizon, build sustainable   habitats, perform music and deliver oral histories.
