About Trashy
Project Trashy is an innovative NGO initiative focused on transforming electronic waste into captivating works of art.
Initiated by Artist Mizou during her tenure as a designer at Uber in San Francisco, the project drew inspiration from the vibrant tech culture prevalent in the city.
Unlike conventional waste, electronic trash presents unique challenges. While most e-waste undergoes downcycling, a process that consumes significant energy, our approach emphasizes upcycling. We repurpose discarded electronic items, many of which hold sentimental value, thereby reclaiming their hidden potential.
Our collaborative art workshops, led by Mizou, embrace an open-source ethos, inviting diverse participants—from students and programmers to rocket engineers and electronics industry professionals—to contribute their expertise and personal electronic artifacts. Together, we transcend conventional boundaries to craft artwork that embodies the spirit of creativity and innovation.
Mizou views herself not merely as an artist, but as a conceptual catalyst, inspiring others to unleash their creativity and expand their perspectives.
