Flip the Script on Plastics Pollution_Exposing Greenwashing "Making Sustainable Change #2"" 2024 by [dNASAb]


 New Video Drop: Exposing Greenwashing by American Plastic Makers! #wip

Check out [dNASAb]'s latest video remix that ad-busts a misleading commercial from the American Plastic Makers. These plastic making companies use greenwashing to appear eco-friendly, but their practices tell a different story. Let's break it down:

* Misleading Claims: Highlighting minor eco-friendly initiatives while their overall practices remain harmful. They might promote recyclable materials, but the actual recycling rates for their products are shockingly low.

* Selective Disclosure: Touting reductions in harmful chemicals while ignoring the massive plastic waste they generate.

* False Labels and Certifications: Using vague or self-created "green" labels that give the illusion of sustainability without real action.

* Advertising Campaigns: Launching extensive campaigns to promote minor green initiatives, overshadowing their ongoing environmental damage.

* Green Products: Introducing "eco-friendly" products while still profiting from conventional, harmful products. It's a way to appeal to conscious consumers without making real changes.

* Downplaying Impact: Focusing on small improvements or comparing themselves favorably against worse offenders to downplay their environmental impact.

These greenwashing techniques create a facade of environmental responsibility, misleading consumers and delaying genuine sustainable practices.

* Dive into the deception and see how these tactics undermine real efforts to tackle plastic pollution. Together, we can demand true sustainability!

"Augmented Reality_TVBuddha" remix of Nam June Paik's 1974 "TVBuddha" and The BASS Museum exhibition "Nam June Paik:The Miami Years"" by [dNASAb] 2023

 "Augmented Reality TV Buddha"/"AR.TV Buddha" remix by [dNASAb]

"A series of interactive, geospatial, location-based, Augmented Reality sculptures_ an innovative collaborative remix of Nam June Paik's 1974 "TVBuddha" and The BASS Museum exhibition "Nam June Paik:The Miami Years""

  In the "AR_TVBuddha" by [dNASAb](2023), the iconic TV Buddha undergoes a transformative evolution,grappling with the contemporary paradox of enlightenment mediated through technology. The central question arises: Can true enlightenment be achieved with a screen as an intermediary, considering the pervasive presence of screens in our lives? This inquiry delves into the essence of self-awareness, as individuals navigate their existence through technological devices, pondering whether self-understanding is found in the reflections captured by selfies.

Rejecting passivity, the "AR_TVBuddha" rebels against motionless consumption. Extruding into a 4th dimension, it becomes a dynamic product of technological evolution, liberated from specified scales and immobility. This incarnation embraces a duplicitous, kinetic nature, even posing for selfies with viewers, morphing into a media star in an alternative format.

True to Fluxus principles, the "AR_TVBuddha" aims for mass accessibility, blurring the boundaries between art and life. Departing from the museum's protective aura, it immerses itself in the vibrant tapestry of contemporary life, resonating with a diverse audience. This evolution ensures the Buddha's perpetual existence, living on in the digital archives of myriad technological devices, embodying a harmonious fusion of spirituality and technology in the ever-evolving landscape of art.
