This animation portrays the island of Sao Tome as a fragile axis of economies of violence, inscribed in its entirety with the architecture of colonial agricultural production. The island has always been measured in such a way as to act as an auxiliary monoculture to a distant mother country. Post independence, the exploration of oil within its Exclusive Economic Zone promises to fuel these cycles further. The proliferation of an existing facility for public transparency, called GRIP, through every Casa Grande on the island and beyond via the internet, aims to imbue the island with an immunity to further monocultures, promoting instead both individual specialisation and common participation.
