Amy Esplen, "We Recycle" : Canada Day 2021

Описание: Artist Statement:
Canada day/month I believe is a great time to highlight how recycling can improve the life of the land we live off of. Visitors to RIM Park were able to see a 4 x 8 Foot recycling bin. Using their phones, the bin came to life through augmented reality, and learned how they can do to improve the recycling system.

Install Location: RIM Park (2001 University Ave E, Waterloo) in front of Field 2 off of Millennium Drive. Visible July 1 - 30th, 2021.

Artist Bio:
A graphic designer living in Kitchener, ON with big dreams and a handy gentleman friend. I am inspired by obscurity and using what I have on hand to create and explore new perspectives.
