This exhibition is part of the deTour 2022 design festival in Hong Kong. Our team came up with the idea of visualising the environmental impacts of our daily consumption through the experience of grocery shopping. Visitors of the exhibition would pick products from shelves and self-checkout as they would normally do in a store. But as they check-out, they will receive a receipt listed with the ecological footprint of the items that they scanned.

​

Using Filemaker Pro, I created a POS system that adds up the carbon footprint, water footprint and breakdown time of the visitors' scanned products. Each receipt is unique based on the combination of items that each visitors pick. All of the "purchases" made were accumulated automatically and shown on a screen which visitors would be reminded the impact of our purchases on the environment.
