Beth already put the picture up of us all dressed in the safety gear....what a great picture!!!
The visit was informative and fun ! We got to see the entire process.. from the separation of different plastics, metals, and glass. Surprisingly it was all very high-tec using different lasers and magnets. Unfortunately the machines were not turned on so we didn't get to see it all in action, but in theory they explained how it all works.We video tapped the visit, luckily we had a class the day before showing us how to use the camera and edit the footage. Although, we could only rent out a video camera that had a casset tape, so we need to figure out how to edit the footage and upload it. As a group we were thinking of some how incorporating the video footage into our final presentation, not to sure how yet but its a possibility. Maybe layering our footage of the recycling plant and images of our final garments.
It was annoying that the machinery was not turned on, but I was still able to get some amazing pictures. The colours and materials worked so well together- the cobalt blue mixed with the cadmium yellow - the thick sturdy steel working against scattered flimsy colourful mixed paper, shredded plastics and metals compacted into tight cubes to be shipped off.
I chose these images out of all of them to put up on my blog because they show everything I was describing before and i think they work really well together. The mixture of colour and industrial machinery - strong well made machinery juxtaposed with the recycled mashed mixture of used materials.
