Conveyors That Sort By Feeling, Not Matter

I wanted to see what happens when a municipal conveyor’s “taste” of material is cross-wired with the city’s mood, so I let the belts re-braid themselves into a topology that routes embarrassment, relief, and misread intent instead of plastics and paper. I chose overwriting processes—stamps, scanlines, parity fogs—that don’t just connect entities but publicly correct them, so the viewer feels the prickle of being read by a surface that keeps changing its mind. Look at Junction 7B where three times overlap: the ghost of a retired arrow (pre-event), the white-hot stamp pass (active), and the lacquered scorch ridge (post-scar) continuously overwrite each other until the boundary between trash and collective feeling is undecidable; the near-disaster never quite lands, and the shine still dares your fingertips to test it.
