Day 11

 Acquired



Discarded




Just to clarify a few things for persons who might be wondering why the objects aquired and those that are thrown away don't match perfectly. I have two persons that I share this house with. So naturally they put some of my trash in the bin just as I end up cleaning up their mess from time to time. And as I said I'm documenting everything I physically put into a waste bin or recycling bin myself.
Another thing that will make it difficult to be perfectly accurate every day is my memory. It is surprising how hard it can be to keep track of everything you throw away when it is a habit and you do it almost unconsciously.

Day 10

Discarded




As I have now gotten the project going and will start telling people about it I should maybe explainin a few things about what it is that I am doing.
This is an art project that I am doing as a part of the University course I am studying right now. The basic rules that I have set up for myself are to draw everything I acquire and everything I discard each day. Practically this means that I must draw everything I buy, everything I find, everything that is given to me and everything I put into a recycling bin or trash bin at home, at uni or in town (I think I want to include everything I unintentionally lose too, but I am not a person who loses things very often so I am not sure it will make a big difference if it is included or not). Of course I have to draw the line somewhere since it would be impossible to depict literally everything I gain and cast away. It is oubvious but I am still going to tell you that I won't count anything that isn't a physical object or anything that isn't big enough (e. g. dust, breadcrumbs).

Finally got the blog header done. Now this is slowly starting to look like I want it to.
