 What do you do with your calendar? Do you cross off each day that has passed? Do you write little reminders to yourself? Do you trash each month? Artist Susanna Hertrich decided to take a different approach to a standard calendar by incorporating a calendar, a clock, and waste-producing automaton to design the Chrono Shredder. "It features the 365 days of the year represented on a paper-roll. The paper-roll is led through a hacked paper-shredder, which is programmed to use exactly 24 hours to shred one 'day'." So when a month is over, you can look at the floor full of shredded days gone by, depressed that you never sought out what you wanted to do.Hertrich began this project as a means to ponder the future, wondering whether "natural aging" will be considered a disease since there's so much "plastic" out there, and the effects aging would have on people.
