Better than (re)new

Readers of the Adelaide Review will have seen an interview with Matt Baida of WAX Design this April, entitled 'Better than (re)new'. His Master's project 'Time's Arrow' dealt with a number of issues around the impact of mining projects and the potential for creative output. Matt noted:

“Land art should not cost more if it is planned for from the start. The time for mining companies to measure their success by profit alone is past. They need to answer their responsibility to the environment as well.”
