"A critical concept of open-source information is access and empowerment. Our aim is to explore ideas around active participation in encouraging people to consider how they might reuse an item they previously considered to be waste. By investigating cardboard - a readily available material - and using low-tech tech processes, we hope to respond to the issue of waste in an accessible way."
