ECO-Fair 2009
Waste to Wonder will facilitate an installation and upcycling station at the ECO-Fair 2009. The projects will showcase materials found locally and nationally that are examples of exotic waste. Bring your creative helmet to devise new and innovative uses for stuff that would otherwise be found in the dumpster!
Future Public Art Opportunity in the Village
At the intersection of Teton Village and McCollister Drive is a field approved for a semi-permanent installation. Materials available include excess lift towers, 100+ chair lift chairs, and assorted sizes of retired lift cable (aka haul rope). The design team will be a collaborative effort with students from the Jackson Hole High School.
Chair Flake Flowers
Currently, the primary material available at the Village is chair lift chairs. Imagine creating snow flakes from the chairs, that transform via kinetic components such as lift left-overs and flywheels. The possibilities are quite interesting to ponder. Digital models may be available, or simple web application will enable participants to engage in thoughtful and adaptive reuse of retired infrastructure.
A combination between David C. Roy's aesthetic, and Hoberman Architects would be an interesting cross-section of transformable art-chitecture.
Waste to Wonder: The challenge of Transformation
Our first project in Waste to Wonder focuses on a large quantity of exotic waste, a byproduct of constructing a long curved hallway in a house.
Anarkofarcs- A test installation
On January 7th, Waste to Wonder hit the ground running after the holiday season. The installation below is the beginning of a large-scale project which will evolve organically in the next couple weeks with additional design input from students. One quarter of the material was used to create half of a boat shape, dubbed Anarkofarcs.
Inspirational Artists
Each class starts with a new presentation of artists working with large-quantities of materials, from styrofoam cups to willows. These artists are ambitious and create stunning works of art which serve as inspiration for the students.
