For example I’ll be using U.S. Antarctic Program Waste Management Program data to compose my images to reflect the relative amounts of material in the waste stream. It’s a cool way to determine the art’s direction and gives the images their rhyme and reason. I’ll elaborate on this further with specific facts and figures in a not-too-distant future post.

It sounds like they were created in a very elegant fashion, and designed for maximum efficiency. The comment about the packing crates being used as flooring is particularly interesting. Wow.

America is the Land of Plenty where we have historically had as many resources as we could possibly want. When you go to Antarctica, the constraints of the environment force certain design considerations.

It would be interesting to find out how this has influenced your project.
