The “site as a source” approach raises awareness towards natural extractable resources, extraction methods, how and where materials are transported, the local extractive industry and opportunities that can be created by combining the knowledge from different disciplines.

We are questioning how new perspectives could be gained on time and permanence; the origin, lifecycle and disposal of materials; as well as experimental processes focusing on qualities of raw materials.
