Horse-drawn… HUMMER?

March 26th, 2010 andrew No comments

Those pesky NYC artists are making us think again. This sculptural expression created by Jeremy Dean very literally juxtaposes the old and the new. In the spirit of eco-statements, I would have preferred that a totalled Hummer went into the project rather than a perfectly functional (albeit gas guzzling) automobile. Waste not, want not applies to artists too.

Bottled? What’s next? They gonna sell air?

March 24th, 2010 andrew No comments

This is a great combination of information and graphics.

The Story of Bottled Water, released on March 22, 2010 (World Water Day) employs the Story of Stuff style to tell the story of manufactured demand—how you get Americans to buy more than half a billion bottles of water every week when it already flows from the tap. Over five minutes, the film explores the bottled water industrys attacks on tap water and its use of seductive, environmental-themed advertising to cover up the mountains of plastic waste it produces. The film concludes with a call to take back the tap, not only by making a personal commitment to avoid bottled water, but by supporting investments in clean, available tap water for all.

It’s mind blowing to see the images that can be produced without stepping a foot outside.
