MuPis was developed with the intention of capturing and manipulating existing samples of geological matter. Each rock, or sample, became an index in conversation with the site where it came from and the form that shaped its current state. Although rocks are seen as fixed resilient elements, they are subjected to a gradual but constant flux across time. The unawareness of the changing state of a rock, particularly at a small scale, led to its recording into a digital archive that would later allow material, scale, and design manipulation. The change of scale and materiality became tools that would allow for the reconstructed rock to blend into a different context and shift functions, in this case, become a source of light and an object for contemplation.
