Take Your Breath Away
I really liked the idea behind this project. The experiment was done for an international event for a company based out of San Francisco, Rebar. It was completed in September 2009. The idea that generated this project was how human beings affect climate change. Experimental Skeleton decided they had to try and store the same amount of CO2 from people exhaling as would be absorbed by a forest plot the same size as the parking space used. I thought this was really creative and useful. It would be incredible to know how much a human can ultimately affect the climate. ES used a coffin shaped container to portray the destruction by humans exhaling CO2. They then filled the coffin with individual plastic bags from different people that represents their last breath. ES discovered that they need to find a strategy for effective CO2 storage that can help the future of the atmosphere being destroyed by humans.
Prior to the lecture about Experimental Skeleton, I had not really known much about experimental art. I didn't know much about how time consuming, costly, and difficult it can be to produce a project. As they are "experimental" you never know if it will work out properly. I congratulate this group for doing all of these intense projects that people are able to learn from.
