Imagine we could use smart tags to reveal where our garbage
goes… we could follow the final journey of our everyday
objects and increase awareness of sustainable practices…
Waste and the city – does volume matter?Are we aware how much waste we produce?
Why do we know so much about the supply chain and so little about the ‘removal chain’?
What if waste collection suddendly stopped?(Think about what happened recently in Naples, Italy, where the streets were overwhelmed with garbage…)
Image a city entirely made of garbage
Wall-E’s post-human waste city of the future 2008’s waste emergency in Naples, Italy
the performance: from my house to the street… to where?
Disseminating tagged products into the city of New York
and following them in space and time
What we want to show…
We celebrate and document THE WASTE OBJECT before throwing it away through portraits and in a database. Afterwards, we follow it and visualize its physical COORDINATES and its MOVEMENT through space, tracing its PATH on the map and displaying snapshots of the STREET VIEWS through which the object travels. This takes the viewer along the waste object’s end-of-life journey.
How far outside the city will the trash travel?
