Over the past couple of months while I was waiting for the announcements of grants and arranging my studio space I started working on the Trash catchers project. Trashcatchers is a community arts short film project which is being run by the YMCA in Leederville. The film is going to communicate the messages of recycling, reducing and reusing in a 5 minute short film. Over the past 15 weeks a group of about 10 young people have been tinkering way at writing scripts, performing and designing costumes. My main role in the project was working out of REMIDA with Jen and Poppy to produce a Robot costume. The E-waste Robot, emerges out of the bin, and breaks out some funky dances moves in an attempt to encourage us to dispose of our e-waste responsibly.
The E-Waste robot encourages us to recycle our e-waste responsibly, by taking your old electronics to a certified dumping zones. This ensures that all the heavy metals contained in the electronics don't end up in landfill, instead they can be dismantled and sorted into there different metals and plastics.
Thanks to Poppy Van Ord for her lovely pics of the E-Waste Robot

ReplyDeleteI am part of Gidget Kitchen in Northern California. We have regular Creative Commons movie nights & we would like to show yours. We are in the early process of making a short movie about how to ethically re-cycle unusable computers.
We try to educate the public on computer re-use.
We donate technology to groups/individuals in need.
