Hi.

Hi there. I'm Jan, from Product Design. Currently doing Digital Crafts as a practiceproject to get a little taste oof how it is to work more with technology. Exactly I love it, altough I've got a lot to learn still. Luckely enough we can achieve already a lot through knowledge avaiable in the workshops and on the internet.

Project concept

A group of expatriates distribute face masks to pedestrians to raise awareness of air pollution

I took my inspiration from the fact that the human nose can't smell a lot of hazardous gasses. Some of these gasses, like nitrogen dioxide, are becoming more and more evident in our (urban) enviroment. The emissions of thousands of cars and companies let to a hazy fog, which covers cities as Shanghai and London.

This fog is a quite recent development. It was not until the Industrial Revolution (in the 18th century) that the emmissions of industries became a serious problem.
