“For those who stubbornly seek freedom, there can be no more urgent task than to come to understand the mechanisms and practices of indoctrination.
These are easy to perceive in totalitarian societies, much less so in the system of ‘brainwashing under freedom’ to which we are subjected and which all too often we serve as willing or unwitting instruments.” N. Chomsky

“We live in a system that sustains it self through the consumption of commodities, and where one’s being is represented through things and possessions, commonly recognizable and legible tokens” Bauman
“In liquid life, the distinction between the consumer and object of consumption is all too often momentary and ephemeral, and always conditional.”Bauman

“Waste is a staple and arguably the most profuse product of the liquid modern society of consumerism; among consumer society’s industrial waste production is the most massive and the most immune to crisis”Bauman

PROJECT: HUMAN WASTE AS COMMODITY
RAFFINE - The Story Behind The urine Business | MA Critical Design Practice 2012 | Goldsmiths University
This project addresses the issues of consumption and commodification through the lens of critical design and a little bit of healthy irony. By employing commercial design mechanisms this project portrays the near future in the form of a cautionary tale.
As a result of extensive water shortage new business arose and consequently created an infrastructure of supporting products and services. This new business is urine – human waste, a commodity as any other, collected, branded and resold. In a world where everything and everyone is a commodity, how long will it take till we start consuming ourselves?
