Behind the Tech-xtures

Stories from electronic waste

Benedikt Adler and Andrea De la Peña

Behind the tech-xtures is a project that materializes and uncovers the stories behind the complexity of Electronic waste production and management through material research, sculpture and interviews.

Narrtive waste

Behind the Tech-xtures tries to untangle the different stages and interactions between international stakeholders in electronic device production and disposal. The collected materials from electronic waste become narrators that share and analyse this socioecological issue through different perspectives.

This project aims to inform and visualize the different realities behind the production of our everyday devices, as well as trigger critical conversations that point out the importance of reframing individual responsibilities to think collaboratively on initiatives to demand new and better systems at an international, industrial and governmental level.
