E-FLUX.COM: Made in X - The Canary and the Hammer (preview)

Press/Media: Other

Description

Our lives are full of products whose exact origins are unknown to us, not to mention the origins of their raw materials. From mobile phones to chocolate, from tea leaves to electricity. We all use these things with little to no understanding of how they are produced or distributed. Our ignorance does not benefit anyone apart from big companies and multinationals. Indeed, it only paves the way for social exploitation and exacerbates the tension between humankind and the rest of nature.
