airtrade.org project . 2004

www.airtrade.org A year-long group project for International Human Rights Day, 2004.

Packages filled with air from the infamous Design Academy Eindhoven were sent to 100 influential people around the world to initiate a global network of air exchange.

'Airtrade' works as a global communication tool based on the principle that air and human rights are immaterial and have different meanings for different people, as well as being an element that all people share.
