There are many among us, who have the passion for collecting something. This collection-based task from Sarah-Hilden Academy (Tampere, Finland) offers a fresh, artistic view point to researching surrounding environment. The task directs to collect objects both from urban and natural environment, to juxtapose the objects, to describe them and to documentate the situation of collection. This kind of approach is a great example of artists working in similar method with scientists. What do you get to know about urban and natural environment? Read more about the task here.
