phase 1: collecting aluminum skin from cans.
Day 1 : London cans from VA museum
Drink cans are also a platform for design and current symbols, themes of interests in a global sense.
I noticed there are lots more energy drinks, many varieties. Monster (many varieties), Red Bull (many varieties), Psychik, etc, these are all drinks to be careful of. Warning to not drink more than X no per day. Bad sign. It means a lot of people are feeling a high from drinking these and thats their drink of the moment.
Some cans have Snapchat and comic characters, v attractive to the youthful crowd.
Standard ones are Coke, Diet, Classic, Cherry etc I find these cans are v rigid because the drink itself requires a more rigid type of can to hold the drink? There are conferences for can makers, they discuss the type of can lining for which kind of drinks etc, due to sugar content etc. V scientific.
Back to the selection of cans... where could we select the cans, where to find the cans?
First city for the MobileMusic 12% was London.
I stayed at the VA museum, it has very beautiful dining areas, many rooms each with special ambiance. I chose to sit in the main room with a grand piano and somebody was also playing jazz too! In a cafeteria dining room!
There were very nice waitresses, young and kind, very smart and friendly. I asked if i may pick up all the aluminum cans that are left behind. They said they will bring them over to me! Wow.
So I stayed for a couple of hours and they brought me many many cans.
Thanks to these young ladies
I got a stock from the VA, my british cans.
