Installation art - "recycle - re-use"
Basic information
Project Title
Installation art - "recycle - re-use"
Full project title
Ecological installation art presenting “the 4 Elements” during the congress “4 ELEMENTS. HUMAN 2050”
Category
Shaping a circular industrial ecosystem and supporting life-cycle thinking
Project Description
The prototype design shows the possibility of an easy way to create "zero waste" art without limits!
All elements of the installation were used with post-production waste, garbage or borrowed elements from the nearest community or friends.
The combination of art, ecology, sustainability and circularity.
The challenge was to show 4 elements of nature - earth, water, air and fire with recycled materials as a piece of art and focusing on innovative ways of thinking about design.

Description of the project
Summary
he project shows that designing radically ecological art, installations and events is easy and possible. It engages the community - it shows the possibility of exchanging materials.
The installation process includes transportation, assembly and dismantling of the installation after the event. All materials used will be reused or disposed of appropriately in accordance with ecological principles.
The installation "4 ELEMENTS. HUMAN 2050" is not only an artistic spectacle, but also an engaging educational tool, inspiring reflection on contemporary challenges related to nature and ecology. This project fits perfectly into the idea of the "New European Bauhaus", combining modernity, sustainable development and an innovative approach to art.
Space Design (300m2):
The installation covers an interactive and engaging space of 300 m2, located in the hall of the Auditorium Maximum building. This space aims to promote an ecological congress on the 4 elements - earth, water, air and fire, and man 2050 - through an innovative approach to art and interaction.
Ecological Materials:
The entire project is made of recycled materials, which emphasizes the ecological dimension of the event. These materials are not only environmentally friendly, but also constitute an educational element, showing how creatively you can use recovered raw materials.

Key objectives for sustainability
The combination of art, ecology, sustainability shows the easy way to create a piece of art.
The entire project is made of recycled materials, which emphasizes the ecological dimension of the event. These materials are not only environmentally friendly, but also constitute an educational element, showing how creatively you can use recovered raw materials.
furniture - made from post-production scraps of stairs from the carpentry shop, which are not suitable for re-use.
the countertops are made of a material with unique functional properties. Its main component (over 65% by weight) is plastic from PET bottles.
floor - 100% post-production leftovers from a company producing carpets.
installation - collected advertising banners were cut to create a spatial installation. The water element in the exhibition is a long banner covered with damaged foil, that is not suitable for sale.
construction - rented construction scaffolding

Innovative character
The innovative character is the way of thinking about art and design using recycled materials. The "brutality" of the project is innovative and catchy in the historical area of the univeristy.
Disciplines/knowledge reflected
Concept - the idea of creating a "zero waste installation" was the concept of organisator - the Jagiellonian Univeristy in Cracow. The realisation was the team work of the directors, designers, contractors (carpenters, painters).

How stakeholders are engaged
The project engages the community - it shows the possibility of exchanging materials, plants or furniture. Parts of installation were borrowed from the people engaged in the project (the stands, the grass).
- local stakeholders - our designers arranging and inventing the concept and solutions
