They exist—born from the trashed electronic gadgets we’ve used for years. Little “electronic creatures”: smart, harmless, but endlessly curious. They roam around, gathering information about our habits. Nobody knows why. Some say they sell data to the highest bidder. And no pesticide can stop them.
Daily Contamination is a design and photography project created for
These little creatures were crafted entirely from electronic waste, and rest assured, none were harmed during the shoot.
This project envisions a new microcosm, using captivating metaphors to reveal the invisible electronic traces we leave behind in our daily lives.
There are no more real ants spoiling our picnics, invading our kitchens, or infesting our beds.
Today, everything is invisible to us. But for someone out there, even our breadcrumbs are in plain sight.
Made in London
Daily Contamination began as a concept for Vem Sistemi, an Italian IT company, where the first creature—a bee—was born. The idea quickly evolved, finding a new platform in my stock images on Getty/iStock. The bee’s unique design caught the attention of Pomeranz Agency in the USA, leading to a commission for additional insect-inspired creations for an advertisement campaign.
Over time, I grew attached to these little creatures, and what started as a single concept turned into a full series.
Placing them in domestic contexts, I aimed to blend the familiar with the surreal, creating a striking metaphor for the invisible electronic traces in our lives.
