2. CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN your used paper and plastic cups.
3. DEPOSIT your artfully RECYCLED and CLEANED cups in the trash can made by cups in our lobby. (look for image above)
4. CONSIDER how recycling your CUPS can directly transform the objective nature of your reality by participating in a mundane art project.
5. HELP Machine and Layard build the set they aspire to create.
This project and set invites you take part in the creation of a dance by saving your waste. To Layard and Machine, your trash is treasure.

Arrgh!! This calls out the fact that I forgot my ceramic cup AGAIN this morning. Every day, I use a paper cup at work and I think, “This is such a waste! I need to bring in a real coffee cup from home.” Yep, I forget every day. I guess when you have a 5 week old, it gets hard to remember everything.
I’m going to write it on the back of my hand so I’ll see it tonight. No more wasted paper cups!!!!
