17 Superflex’s expensive system was a didactic experiment representing the vast distance between The Land and its immediate context.18 Philippe Parreno and François Roche’s Hybrid Muscle, a large, futurist structure constructed to address the site’s electricity issues, has never functioned. Designed as a counter-weight system to be set in motion by an elephant, Parreno and Roche did not consider that work-elephants are no longer used in Thailand. This oversight of The Land’s context was not rectified by the elephant’s replacement with a buffalo; the buffalo not having the strength to lift the heavy weight for the work to function.
