Nantes Situation…

Recycle a Boeing

The Second in the series of networked performances: “We have a Situation…”
The participants in Nantes explored the realm of Aircraft recycling – a subject that came about through discussions addressing Nantes’ own second airport conflict and the issues that arose from the preceding e-waste situation in London.

The video below is a remix from the video documentation of the networked performance and discussion.
