Trash Cache
Augmented Reality
Performance
What can I bring into the world? What do we not perceive, even though it exists? Data whizzes and floats, and is easily forgotten. But behind these services lies an extensive infrastructure that consumes gigantic amounts of resources. It's like leaving the light on in a room that you never use. The digital garbage, the invisible pollution. Trash Cache is intended to bring digital, deleted garbage into the real world. Abstract bodies made of files of all sizes, types and colors are translated into the analog world using augmented reality. The digital garbage is supposed to behave just like our analog garbage. It lies in rooms and all over the city. The garbage bodies can also stick to buildings, like some kind of parasite, mold or virus. The digital waste should be collected and disposed of in the same way as analog waste. For this purpose, the waste was collected from wastepaper baskets by various students. These old files come into our world in an organic, biomorphic form. I used the 3D software Blender to model and animate my shapes and Snapchat Lens Studio to bring the objects into the real world using an augmented reality filter. I experimented a lot with composition, size and color and worked with various tools.
