DISCOMO

The time is now - discomo

Starting as an exploration into the psyche we looked into the future and found that the the time is now!

This year discomo is exploring the global impact of driving and the larger issue of carbon emissions. As pedestrian new yorkers, driving is an exciting luxury, but we all must come to terms with the true cost of driving....

- 20 lbs. CO2 per gallon -98 tons of plants per gallon -2 lbs. of CO2 = 1household fridge -2.5 acres of forest offsets one car per year

Carbon Neutrality - What does this REALLY mean - how do we all figure this out?
We have been doing alot of research into the confusing world of carbon offsets and the varying techniques here. In additon to offsetting discomo's annual carbon footprint, we are going to artistically try too spread our findings. We will tow around a large ball the size of a pound of CO2 - what discomo emits every mile she drives. We will add challenging driving facts and more detailed reading cards disctreetly about the vehicle. Without being the bummermobile we want to challenge riders to think about driving in new ways.

Solar Sound
Discomo will share solar power with her camp "Astral Photo Project" All of her lighting is efficient EL and LED and can store solar energy in 2 deep cycle batteries embedded in her seats. Her sound system is 12V so there is no need for inefficient inversion.

MOBILE UNIT FOR THE ASTRAL PHOTO PROJECT
Equiped with a mobile photo studio we will gather photographs of friends to display in the project. Learn more here: http://astral-photo-project.com/

A satelite in close orbit to the flow. finding our own mix surfing the inner playa sound waves delicously bouncing off the disc. Four bikes hanging from the disc rolling to the deep playa in search of magic. this is just the beginning.

Green Driving
Discomo will be moving more slowly this year and make every mile count. We plan on rolling and parking - shifting focus from a mobile lounge to a lounge that occasionally relocates. Whenever discomo is on the go she should have a full load of passengers. Discomo was an active recycler during breakdown collecting close to 10 loads of recycled building materials for camp katrina. Discomo also is an accomplished moop hunter and deep playa instalation moop gatherer.
