REBOOT

REBOOT Laboratory is a studio in which artists and designers work collaboratively with the lab’s director Rob Duarte to create works that utilize the waste materials produced by capitalism and conspicuous consumption. Our approach is rooted in the visual arts and is driven by our collective knowledge of process, materials, and hands-on experimentation.

REBOOT projects afford a critical look at the logical consequences of the ways in which we produce, consume, and discard the objects that make up our designed world. These explorations of the political and environmental implications of consumer culture occur through a hands-on process of thinking and making, with a goal of provoking discussion and action that will bring about alternative, preferred futures.
