Art as a form of raising awareness is always refreshing, in that context I came accross this project which in my opinion is closely related with the one in the previous post.
Superflex's apocalyptic new work explores the path that leads from consumption to catastrophe, comprising Jakob Fenger, Bjornstjerne Christiansenand Rasmus Nielsen, they have worked for over 15years on a wide range of projects that deal broadly, and distinctively politically, with global issues. Much of their work has been built around ideas of democratising production and consumption processes — as in their open-access TV channel Superchannel, their work Supercopy that challenges ideas of legal copyright, or the soft drink Guaraná Power they created with Amazonian farmers to challenge the stranglehold multinational beverage manufacturers on commodity prices. But Flooded McDonalds, the second in a series of new films is an example of their intersest in the relationships between global warming and our role as consumers.
