Traces of a Cathode: In 4k

S1 Artspace is pleased to present a newly commissioned 3D virtual tour of Traces of a Cathode. Traces of a Cathode was an international group exhibition of recent works by Paulo Arraiano, Diogo da Cruz, Olga Grotova, Gweni Llwyd, Daniel de Paula & David Rickard, curated by Joseph Cutts.

Developed from Cutts’ ongoing research, the exhibition aimed to provide an understanding of the cycle and formation of electronic waste (obsolete or discarded electronic devices) and the processes involved from the mining and extraction of minerals, through to the manufacturing and product distribution setup. Discarded remnants slowly sinking to leave something behind, undermining and deteriorating our beds and water passages.

Traces of a Cathode addressed the improper ‘methods’ of electronic recycling globally and highlighted the need for clearer and cleaner methods of recycling in our local communities and the roles individuals can play to decrease their carbon footprint.
