Bio-Tag, 2008
Bio-Tag raises awareness of dangerous toxins present in the physical environment through the deployment of searchable word “markers” made from natural materials. Hopefully, these typographic interventions will solicit a curiosity that will draw people into personal research and action. The motivation for these actions is to address the lack of public knowledge and the hopeful elimination of toxins that are present in food, the body, the home, and the environment. The scope of the project includes these toxin categories: Agricultural Toxins, Air Pollutants, Biological Contaminants, Carcinogens, Chemicals, Extremely Hazardous Substances, Microorganisms, Multimedia Pollutants, Ozone, Radiation, Soil Contaminants, Toxic Substances, and Water Pollutants. FS would like thank Warren Smith, Jill Knochenmus, and Caramia Cherie for helping with the Bio-Tags deployed in Porland, Oregon and Rob Sweere, Hans Jungerius, and Kim Lokers in Arnhem, Netherlands.
