    Mining Map – Zurich

    2023 ZHdK Fonds für internationale und interkulturelle Dozierenden-/Mittelbau-Projekte

    Departement Darstellende Künste und Film

    Mining Map – Zürich,Zürcher Hochschule der Künste

    A map showing recyclable materials in the city of Zurich and other cities around the world.

    Objective:
    A tool is being developed with and for all interested, participating ZHdK students and lecturers to enable them to utilize the city of Zurich and its surroundings as a mine for available and already used materials. The digital map will list companies that provide recyclable residual material. It will also pool information and knowledge, and connect people who have experience in and/or are keen to support sustainable material use.

    Methods:
    The open-source map will be populated by both students and lecturers. Every researched material will be included in the digital map and provided to all those involved as availability information, enabling them to search for available material in the city using their smartphone whenever they choose. The goal is to make it easy to enter new locations on the map, so that Mining Map – Zurich becomes a valuable tool and a reliable source for sustainable material use.

    Conclusion:
    Artistic projects involving sustainable materials are often unsuccessful because it is too time-consuming for students and lecturers to do their own research. Therefore, a transformative, collaborative process to create a material recycling map is being initiated to find responsible solutions. Mining Map aims to establish a resource-friendly culture in artistic practice at university level, and enable responsible material use.
    Moreover, the map is being programmed to allow the entire digital structure of the website to be forwarded to interested groups in other cities in package form for subsequent adaptation as a tool there.
