SUMMARY:e-Waste Tsunami
DESCRIPTION:e-waste Tsunami\n\n\n\nSheila C. Johnson Design CenterArnold and Sheila Aronson Galleries \n\n\n\nMarch 5 – March 26\, 2016Opening reception: Friday\, March 4\, 6:00-8:00 p.m. \n\n\n\nBehind the virtual worlds conjured by our computers and mobile phones is the very real world of electronic trash—e-waste: where electronic equipment goes to die. Tracing the journey from wealthy desktops to the poorest corners of the world\, this multi-media exhibition defines new ways to see and connect the global ecosystems behind the creation\, use and disposal of products and services in today’s technologically connected world. Understanding the interrelation of the ecosystems is key to the design of new products and services that will address and alleviate the e-waste problem. Can industrial design\, which plays a major role in creating this problem\, be part of its solution? \n\n\n\nThe exhibition features documentary photographs of those who work with e-waste on a daily basis from the frontline in Delhi\, India\, along with data visualizations revealing the scale of the problem. Real data and “exploded view” models explore the nature of product manufacture and assembly. Exhibition visitors are introduced to the physicality of electronic products and the end of life cycle of manufactured objects\, raising the question – Why are we currently not designing for this occurrence? \n\n\n\nThis exhibition is a joint work of the students of Parsons’ School of Constructed Environments\, Industrial Design MFA creating exploded view assemblies which make up a product\, and STUDIOFYNN’s photographic documentary and data visualization. The assemblies paired with photo documentary and data analysis inspire urgency around creating new approaches to design and consumption\, international public policy and human rights advocacy. Comprehensive solutions to this problem will come about when all stakeholders – legislators\, designers\, policy makers\, NGOs\, corporations and last but not least\, citizens take responsibility and participate. \n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center\,  Parsons School of Constructed Environments\, and the India China Institute at The New School.  In-kind support for printing generously provided by Duggal. \n\n\n\nRELATED PROGRAMS: \n\n\n\ne-waste Tsunami: Design & Policy Response – Panel Discussion Friday\, March 11\, 2016\, 6:00-8:00 p.m.Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Auditorium\, 66 Fifth Avenue \n\n\n\nThis panel brings together designers\, policy experts\, and supply-chain participants to raise e-waste awareness and imagine best practice scenarios. The immediate audiences are those who are involved in the design and manufacture of consumer and electronic products\, while the secondary audience is very broad and covers those concerned with the broader environmental and social issues around manufactured goods and consumerism. This will be of interest to anyone who wishes to expand their view on the eco systems around the products of technology we consume today. \n\n\n\nIntroduction: Brian McGrath\, Dean\, Parsons School of Constructed Environments \n\n\n\nInterlocutor: Rama Chorpash\, Director MFA Industrial Design\, Parsons \n\n\n\nPanelists: \n\n\n\n\nShaun Fynn\, CEO and Creative Director\, Studio Fynn\nAmita Singh D.Sc CFO and Director of Quantitative Research\, Studio Fynn\nJohn S. Shegerian\, Co-founder\, Chairman and CEO of Electronic Recyclers International (ERI) and Urban Mining\nPrasad Boradkar\, Professor\, Industrial Design\, Senior Sustainability Scholar\, Arizona State University.\n\n\n\n\nAdmission is Free; no tickets or reservations required; seating is first-come\, first-served.
