Excerpt from <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/timesofmalta.com\/articles\/view\/researching-consumption-patterns-during-covid-19.839609\" target=\"_blank\">Times of Malta<\/a>about YAWYB: An artistic research project held between 2016 and 2017 questioned the effects of consumption on buyers. This year, a second edition is delving deeper into the subject and is particularly looking at the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our production, shopping and consumption habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dvqlxo2m2q99q.cloudfront.net\/000_clients\/1048736\/file\/you-are-what-you-buy-a-remote-revisit.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">You Are What You Buy (YAWYB)<\/a> reacts to current issues on consumption and consumerism, offering an alternative artistic experience. The first edition was a year-long transdisciplinary project that departed from a reflection on our need to affirm ourselves as consumers. The research process and final presentation were set in a supermarket in Malta, offering a different possibility of where and how to experience art \u2212 away from the art institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then, the team continued thinking on how they could develop the project further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the wake of the pandemic, it felt like a natural progression to revisit the project \u2212 it almost felt like a responsibility not to ignore all the changes in our production, shopping and consumption habits resulting from the impact of the pandemic. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kristinaborg.com\/youarewhatyoubuy-aremoterevisit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">This is how YAWYB \u2012 A Remote ReVisit came about<\/a>,\u201d artist Kristina Borg says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAlso, YAWYB has always anticipated to catalyse change in our production, shopping and consumption habits, specifically inviting us producers and consumers to engage in more intelligent thinking processes while we produce and shop, with the aim of contributing to a new normal that guarantees responsible production and consumption for sustainable cities and communities. And what better time, when we\u2019re affected by the pandemic, to reflect on this?\u201d she continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In answering the research question (see box on right) and more, YAWYB \u2013 A Remote ReVisit moves outside and beyond the supermarket space to incorporate other spaces and places of production and consumption in our neighbourhoods. These include, but are not limited to, the local grocery store or the mini-market, the open markets, the supermarket, the household store, the clothes store, the coffee place, the restaurant and online platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This second edition focuses mainly on research; however, the outcomes are presented through artistic and creative means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to the first edition, this second edition also collaborates with a group of community co-creators as well as with service providers. This was done remotely due to the pandemic, hence the \u2018remote\u2019 in the title. In the wake of the pandemic, it felt like a natural progression to revisit the project<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith this in mind, it is important to mention that such remote means allowed the project to widen its audience to a European-based one, attracting survey respondents and community co-creators based in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, The Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey and the UK,\u201d Borg enthuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis has also provided a wider spectrum of shared experiences as affected by different degrees and levels of the pandemic in different countries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We took part in the YAWYB workshops.
