The project led us to create a digital incineration facility to prevent people from digital hoarding. By encouraging active and voluntary participation of audiences, they can upload useless photos/data through the websites, which will be automatically printed out and drop it into the conveyor belt for the waste into emotional energy. We used lighting, sound, and bubbles to create a vritual incinerator set on the rooftop.
This project aims to visually represent the process of managing 'digital hoarding,' where we accumulate useless data, mirroring the real-world hoarding disorder. It features a real-world digital incinerator, showcasing the deletion of data nestled within devices. The concept includes stations transitioning from indoor to outdoor settings, illustrating the incineration of digital waste. This initiative seeks to raise awareness and encourage the continuous deletion of unnecessary data, reflecting on our struggle with digital waste and its environmental impact.
Material:
foam core, aluminium extension pipe, water pipe, PC acrylic film,
round roof vent, doft PVC fabric, timber, terraco handycoat
Size:
Incineration Plant (2,930*5.290*2,040mm)
Indoor Station (3,600*430*2,200mm)
This exhibition has two different spaces: an interior space & an exterior space.
The audience can send their photos through the station inside and then face the outside digital incinerator. They can look around from the photo tank to the conveyor belt and incinerator to witness the process of burning out their data.
In reality, the audiences are encourageed to take a moment and go through their smart phone photos to see if there are any unnecessary photos they can delete. By looking through the photo galleries, the audiences are getting a chance to realize how much forgetten data they have been collecting in their phones.
In the virtual world, the whole ceremonial process of deleting data materializes through an enormous (virtual) digital incineration plant. This space is all about transforming the concept of deleting photos into a fun, interactive, and tangible experience so that the audiences could fully enjoy the ceremony of letting go of our data.
