Cigarette Installation in Italy



There is a huge 9 meter cigarette ends, which were made of painted logs. The goal of this creative project was to attract people’s attention to the problem of beaches’ pollution.

Space Problems Caused by Smoking Behavior







The location is the entrance of Chelsea College of Art and Design. There are lots of cigarette ends and rubbish on the ground and this area is not allowed smokers to smoke.

Smoking jacket



The jacket has a built-in pair of lungs on the front. As the wearer smokes, the lungs fill up with the exhaled cigarette smoke and begin to gradually darken over time. This project was a result of exploring reflective design as it relates to the body, behavioral choices, and information displays.
The jacket probably would've been more effective if she used real lungs. Probably more illegal too. Just like my bald eagle jacket made from real bald eagles.

How To Change Behaviour (Tiny Masters Of The World Come Out)

Mark Titchner’s art explores the tensions between the different belief systems that inform society, be they religious, scientific or political.

His sculptural installations are provocative hybrids that often combine new technologies with old techniques. For instance, How To Change Behaviour (Tiny Masters Of The World Come Out) 2006 uses a computer designed billboard alongside hand-chiselled quasi-magical contraptions. Titchner presents conflicting ideologies and outmoded ideas without mockery or cynicism, allowing the viewer to form their own conclusions. In so doing, his installation questions both our blind faith in science and our obedience to authority. (from http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/turnerprize/2006/marktitchner.htm)
