Things of Internet is an interactive installation made to highlight the physical dimensions of the Internet and its negative impact on the environment. It invites the recipient to determine their own imaginary parameters describing the physical features of the Web. In response it presents its actual image—to every chosen potential feature there is an assigned fact about the environmental consequences of internet usage which is printed on a receipt from the other side of the object—“the void”.
By involving speculation and imagination, the project aims to encourage everyone to analyze their own online habits. Awareness is important for informed decision-making and behavioral change, so it's necessary to consider even those aspects that might not yet seem to demand immediate action.
