A week-long workshop run by Rafael El Baz and Ewan Alston, exploring how cross-disciplinary methodologies could be applied to bring value to discarded objects. Object Resurrection was held at the Royal College of Art during Across RCA Week with 17 cross-discipline students from the school.

​

According to the UNU, around 40 million tonnes of consumer electronic products end up in landfill each year. Participants in the workshop were encouraged to re-purpose and re-use waste electronic items, and on the first day were tasked with disassembling a printer to understand and find value in its component parts.

Using a broken M-Audio keyboard, alongside elements from the HP printer we had disassembled I created a mobile, re-using the wires and keys. The kinetic structure cast peculiar, organic shapes across the walls which would grow, fade and disperse as it quietly spun above the gallery space.
