How do we manage energy when all sources and different energy carriers—molecules, electrons, and heat—are interconnected and interchangeable? What happens when millions of energy users also become producers, continuously, automatically, and digitally interacting with the energy system as both consumers and suppliers? And how will this system function if all users have the ultimate freedom to create their own energy infrastructure, or when the government makes decisions based on cost efficiency across entire value chains?

Together with Fabrications, Studio Wolfpack and Kamangir, commissioned by the province of South Holland and the Energy Innovation Board, two perspectives were made - ultimate freedom in an energy patchwork and ultimate efficiency in an energy mainframe.
