This poster is part of ‘Afterlife’; a project that investigates the impact of electronic waste on the global community created Matthew Appleton whilst still a student.
These posters are part of a project that looks at the objects we live with, and aims to communicate issues of complexity and means of production in a clear and simple way. For this poster, a cheap consumer printer was dismantled, each component carefully drawn to scale, and juxtaposed with a pencil, also drawn to scale. The parts are arrayed according to size.
incredible to witness the delicacy, precision engineering and sheer number of man-hours that has gone into producing a modern printer, and equally impressive when we consider how affordable such advanced tools have become.
