AMPS

Seeking hardware

Project overview

The AMPS build is planned as a contained reconstruction of Australia’s early cellular world, using original hardware where feasible and modern scaffolding only where cost, scarcity, or law drives a knife through romance.

Current state

Right now the main barrier is hardware acquisition. The shape of the beast is known. The bones are what we are still hunting.

Museum intent

The aim is not nostalgia for its own sake. It is to preserve behaviour, infrastructure, and context, so the hardware can be understood as part of a living system rather than a mute prop.
