It educates the public about renewable energy. It's basically a physical infographic on wheels. And this unexpected pairing of sugar, bright colors and the threat of humanity's self-inflicted demise actually makes for a pretty convincing argument for solar.
People arrive at experiences like these with expectations. And when we make things, we're actively choosing what to do with those expectations. In my work, I want to create disruptive wonder. I want to confound these expectations, because I think that every day, fundamental things and experiences frame reality in a way that we often take for granted. The small things we make can work to reinforce our assumptions about the world. Or small things can come out of left field and draw us into reassessing our complacent expectations about reality. This doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's awesome. Because then, these small things act as sort of a humble back door into understanding a reality that's infinitely surprising.
