Welcome to RUS (Residuos Sólidos Urbanos = Urban Solid Waste). An international art project based on the use of waste as a material to promote the creative use of public space.
Collaborative work with NY artists Scrapyard Challenge. Printed circuit on the side of a 4x4. When shooting on the targets, sounds from junk toys are activated and lights blink. [Extend]
Time to go back to school, dear children. This is the new public equipment for your music lessons: a giant beat machine and a bunch of car part keyboards and light theremins. Soon in all the schools of the United States of America. [Extend]
After neverending working days, we have sun under the moonlight. That´s in Miami Beach, the end of a 40 mile completely straight beach. Luxury cars and sun tuned skins in the only place of miami where people walk. [Extend]
A place to clean your car body and soul. Second show of Miami Trash Machine. We find incredible cars full of chrome pieces and people waiting in the trendy bar while their car is being washed. One of the most amazing places to discover the love story between americans and their cars. [Extend]
Ladies and gentlemen. After weeks of working and coming out directly from the best junkyards in the city of Miami, here it is: the Miami Trash Machine. The latest basurama creation which will travel around the city, transforming the junk spaces into play places.
The first show took place in Churchill´s pub parking lot. [Extend]
A classic in Miami The only way to get rid in the consumist country par excellence. Flea market, bargain store, swap shop, pawn shop. Different names for the same idea. Get rid of it before being buried under your own trash. [Extend]
Miami Trash Machine (thanks to Juan and Gloria Stefan for the name) is a portable Sound System installed on a pick up trailer full of construction waste found nearby the warehouse where we are working. We were desperately looking for a trailer to install our portable sound machine to conquer Miami jun spaces and we found this piece of junk just next to our house. Pick ups are turning into an endangered specie with the petrol price and its a pleasure to have found this unique example of american car species.
We were looking for the owner of the trailer to offer him a good deal, but the neighbours insisted in giving it to us for free. [Extend]
