A few years ago, Californian artist Greg Kloehn built a tiny home out of the same materials he saw the homeless people in his neighborhood scavenging. This has resulted in a project called Homeless Homes Project, which features mobile shelters built out of discarded materials. By sourcing their single components from illegal street dumping and excess household items the project strive to diminish money’s influence over the building process. Kloehn constructs, with the help of many others in the community, the compact abodes in his studio for under $100 each. His homes are weatherproof and designed to withstand heavy rain, he paints them in friendly colors, and they all have wheels to take them wherever they need to go. According to their website, »The Homeless Homes Project is an asymmetrical approach to modern living where collective ideas, good will, and basic construction skills unite to repurpose the abundance of everyday garbage into viable living spaces.«

Famous Danish-Icelandic artist Ólafur Elíasson is well known for his sculptures and large-scale installation art employing elemental materials such as light and water. In 2013 he placed several massive pieces of ice that broke off from Iceland’s largest glacier, Vatnajökull, in a room that was cooled down below 0°. The oldest ice in the glacier is estimated to have originated some 800 years ago. »Your Waste of Time« took place as part of EXPO 1: New York in New York City (he first exhibited ice in 2006 in Berlin).
