Carton is a symbol of consumerism and it is a material that highlights the abundance of materials in the world. It can contain food or objects of any type; it can be thrown away and recycled later on. But this time, it has been used as the main protagonist in the artwork of a young Chilean designer, Carolina Pino. Carolina is a brilliant NYU student, splitting her time between Santiago, Chile and New York. Her project is named “Shellhouse Living Portable.” The carboard house is equipped with a circuit that transmits radio signals and transforms a simple box into a traceable internet device. Through the internet connection, the “shellhouse” is visible online and traceable through the city on google maps.
