A Collection of Forgotten Boarding Passes
The definition of a boarding pass is widely known but the
item itself is generally tossed aside. A meaningless permission slip
that temporarily grants a guest rentorship of a select space on an
aircraft. I found a fascinating aspect that makes boarding passes
unique, and a recycling concept hidden in them.
The machine I designed generates and operates on human
carelessness. The concept of personalized trash on a global scale
could hold people accountable of their own waste; as their name
would be on it. The boarding pass itself is migrating to digital
delivery, assuming the reasoning is to reduce the amount of wasted
paper, but I admire what it stands for in its’ physical form. It is a per-
sonalized piece of trash. It’s a window into the large scale waste that
is paid little attention to, with the roll of a shoulder it’s left behind
for someone else to pick up and dispose of properly. The condition,
the location, or might there be gum smashed between it? All of these
things help identify the subtle characteristics of a passenger. Pay
close attention to the quality of each boarding pass. Imagine a small
city with personalized trash. Would we clean up after ourselves?
