Tiny Mining – ontwerpkritiek.nl

Door: MARTIN HOWSE

“Tiny Mining [TM] is the first open source mineral exploration co-operative and resource
specialist committed to the potential exploitation of the interior of the human body for rare
earth and other mineral resources in the interests of human and planetary health.
During the inaugural Tiny Mining sweatshop, participants will collectively and practically
explore the potentials for exploration and extraction. We will devise and document experimental
protocols for improving yields and facilitating the testing and extraction of metals and minerals
from within the human body. We will explore the ethical and political implications of the
negotiation of individual mining rights and claims and encourage the construction of alternative
belief systems, facilitating the adoption of Tiny Mining as a widespread cultural practice.”
