Worldshaving, 2010

 

Worldshaving utilizes industrialist King Camp Gillette’s 1894 plan to create a ‘sustainable’ single world city powered by Niagara Falls, alongside his lasting contributions to the business world as the principal progenitor of marketed planned obsolescence in the form of disposable razor blades, as a lens through which diverse concerns toward collectivity, urbanism, ecology, sustainability, technology, ethos and pathos may be addressed in the development of an all encompassing gesamtkunstwerk.
