On April 23, 2011, I attended the Earth Day festivities at the Dallas Arts District. I collected a series of sound clips from the festival including conversations with vendors and musical performances. My sound piece is a mash-up of the sounds of the festival containing special effects created with the iPhone app "WavePad".

In response to the Intro and Part 1 of What's Mine is Yours, I collected the words from labels of most of the consumer goods in my apartment, then turned the words into a Word Cloud using Tagxedo. The sample contained labels from packaged food, cleaning products, health and beauty products, drugs, and paper/plasticware- all products whose containers will ultimately end up in the trash.
Here is the list of words I worked with:
Fresh flower nutrient water clarifier aquaplus difference clear contents grams powder vanilla bean energy gel performance food superior energy maximum recovery caffeine vanilla bean bert’s bees

The irony of my piece is that although most of the products in my apartment are advertised as "organic" and "natural", they will mostly all end up as garbage. Even worse, most of the products are packaged in plastic, which is non-biodegradable.
