So I decided to kind of reroute where I want to go for this project. My idea about collecting clothing from a network of peers and friends turned out to be a complete failure. No one really wanted to or had enough *extra* clothing to donate to me (just so I could totally deconstruct it and not give it back). I think upcycling is a really cool idea but I think I really stretched the idea for it to work within a network. So, I think I want to stick something digital rather than try to create something from scratch.
I have some prior research from a class I took last semester than I ended up not going with for a final essay. The research is about Amazon, the ever so fast growing company and dangerous conditions and inequality going on in their fulfillment centers.
New Concept:
The network I want to explore is the people who work for Amazon, specifically in their warehouses called fulfillment centers. This is a pretty hot topic at the moment and I want to do some research and compile data and spread a message about the conditions these workers face through an interactive website people can navigate in order to become educated and see all of the data in one place.
I want to compile videos, articles, maps, etc all in one place.
