Resource Extractor

IN BRIEF

Theses :

“Intelligent Devices increase the gap between rich and poor, powerful and weak”

This concept is representing how intelligent devices can extract resources from poor and give it to rich and powerful.

The above sketch shows two sides of coin one were poor are getting poorer and more dependent on the rich and the other side where rich and powerful are getting more rich and powerful,

DESCRIPTION

This installation will be based on the same idea of the picture shown.

We will have a pot that will have two points with taps attached. One can only be accessed by poor people and one can be used by rich and powerful.

Obviously the resources will flow the same way water flows, i.e. from top to bottom.

We will use water in that pot and that will represent resources like oil and gas, electricity and water etc.

Context of use

We will use it close to Aqua coolers and water fountains where users can interact with it.

They can choose to act as poor or rich to use certain tap to take out drinking water.

We will put signs up to attract more users and hopefully in the process we can evoke their reflection of our theses.
