I will be working alongside and under the guidance of long-time auctioneer John McDouall, who has been managing the auctions for various sci-fi and fantasy conventions such as SWANCON (branched from the West Australian Science Fiction Foundation) and JAFWA (Japanese Animation Fans of West Australia) over the last twenty-five years across Australia.
With John's guidance I will be hosting the auction held at the end of the event, as he will most likely take on the more active role of Auctioneer as I manage the behind-the-scenes inventory keeping and maintainance of all moneys and records of purchases and successful bids.

I can also create additional animations for Sam Barclay's website, animating specific segmented commercials for the student art competition.

I would make this commercial more kid-friendly in order to promote to the youth through the animation

Past the video-making process , I need to collaborate with the entire group in order to identify key details about the event.

Though the advertisement would depict an animated sequence, it would also include a segment (primarily in the end of the commercial) showcasing information from the event.

I would contact Eamon McKierman in order to identify key information about the event: such as a date, time, location and various other details, such as agreed upon taglines and logo's to be used to promote the event.

Sam Barclay and I pitched the idea of having a "propaganda"-esq theme for the advertisment (in both the website and video)

Through this concept, I incorporated the idea of having a human character portrayed in the animation. Having a human represented in the video showcases a "human touch" to the audience and makes the themes and messages of the video have a more impactful message due to having a relatable figure in the commercial.

I would group the animated segments with real-world depictions of the environment: showing both good and bad landscapes and environment pictures in order to convey the world we want; and then the world we want to avoid having, which could be caused via e-waste.

WA high schools and universities (including Curtin and UWA) have 'sister-school' programs linked with high schools and universities in China.

Using our event in order to demonstrate to these academic institutes how to hold their own event would be particularly beneficial in countries such as China where there is a high level of e-waste.

To demonstrate the magnitude of the generation of e-waste in China: their output has more than doubled between 2010 and 2015 to 6.7 million tonnes, which is up 107% .(https://phys.org/news/2017-01-e-waste-east-southeast-asia-percent.html)

For every 1 million cell phones that are recycled, 35,274 lbs of copper, 772 lbs of silver, 75 lbs of gold, and 33 lbs of palladium can be recovered.
Recycling 1 million laptops saves the energy equivalent to the electricity used by 3,657 U.S. homes in a year.
E-waste is still the fastest growing municipal waste stream in America, according to the EPA.
It takes 530 lbs of fossil fuel, 48 lbs of chemicals, and 1.5 tons of water to manufacture one computer and monitor.

It is important to raise awareness in the community of the dangers of e-waste to our environment. So a movie/slideshow will be presented in the school hall that has graphic pictures of e-waste with the facts and figures. This will play to Nirvana's song Lithium

Having previously undertaken work in project management I knew the general idea of what was necessary for running a successful event. Taking on the role of Project Manager or the General Event Manager, my role was to incorporate all the collective research done and represent it in a single collective document which outlined the general scope and mission statement of our project.

# data[].attributes.body
Due to the event being based on the issue of e-waste, it is important to consider ways in which to continue our aim of raising awareness and reducing e-waste into the future. To do so, this current event would be well documented, and our success can provide a model for which annual events can be based, either in the same community, or even expanded transnationally.

A manner in which this transnational expansion could occur is by being facilitated through school programs. School programs would be especially relevant due to the original event being held in a school community, as well as due to the fact that we would be educating and raising awareness in children, who will carry this on into the future.

An example of how this could be done is through one of the many ‘sister schools’ programs.
Schools could therefore hold an event during the course of exchange programs.

Another contribution I will make from the legal perspective is to ensure we adhere to health and safety laws. In doing so we will fulfil our obligation to ensure the safety of the public who attend our event.

As such, in addition to obtaining the relevant permits, I will make contributions which will ensure that safety, security and emergency procedures are in place on the day (such as evacuation plans etc.)

Due to the nature of our event, notification of authorities such as the police and ambulance services must also be considered.

As part of my legal role, I would liaise with the local government to apply for and obtain all the different permits we’d require to ensure we are acting within the law.

Permits required for such an event include:

Those to hold the event on public land (as we’re planning on holding this at a school)

Permits for playing live music (in order to meet noise regulations)

Permits to be allowed to serve food and all the utilities required to do so (such as gas cylinders to cook etc.)

# data[].attributes.body
When holding a public event such as our e-waste event, there are many legal requirements that have to be met.

My contribution in this regard would be to liaise with the local government in terms of obtaining permits for the different elements of our event, as well as to ensure we adhere to health and safety regulations.

Due to e-waste being continually produced, and internationally at that, my further contribution in relation to an international relations perspective is to analyse the potential future projections of the event.

Obviously, the recycling and safe disposal of E-Waste is a significant part of our event. While the art focus itself presents a fun way of raising awareness about the issue and encourages community involvement, it still begs the question of where all of the E-Waste will be going.

As part of my role as Charity Organiser, I have also looked into recycling services in the Perth area that promote the safe disposal of E-Waste and educate people on both the correct and incorrect ways to recycle E-Waste.

# data[].attributes.body
The primary charity I have chosen to head our event is Close the Gap. They are an international non-profit organisation that tackles the issue of e-waste around the world.

Their aim is to bridge the digital divide by donating used computers that have been refurbished from developed countries for educational, medical and social projects in developing nations. (Equipment that cannot be fixed is safely recycled).

Looking at their website, http://close-the-gap.org, aside from the primary focus on donating computers, they also run other projects that can be aided through financial donations.

One of their more recent projects is the Affordable Computer and Technology for Tanzania, which started in 2012. This is an education based project that aims to provide computers, computer labs and IT training and maintenance skills to Tanzania’s youth. This demonstrates the potentially global impact our event could have!

# data[].attributes.body
One of the leading e-waste collection and recycling services in Australia. They emphasise the importance of recycling E-Waste and warn against the dangers of disposing e-waste in bins, landfills and also the exporting waste to countries like China and India. This is extremely harmful to the environment due to the toxins from metals like lead and mercury leaching out into the ground and potentially into waterways.

Aim: was to research and investigate charities, non-profit organizations and local recycling plants that are dedicated to recycling/reusing e-waste.

Goal for event: to acquire physical donations of e-waste either directly brought in for the event as a result of the art competition and sculpture auction, but monetary donations, will of course, also go a long way to aiding charities and their projects.

Focusing on charities that supported educational programs for schools lacking  technological resources. (As this seems fitting considering we are in the process of furthering our own education).

These partnerships will help to expand the awareness on the issue of e-waste and its safe disposal, but also add to the profile of our event and increase the likelihood of future events.

Our Project will create a public art piece that is exclusively made from E-Waste. We have decided on a large public mural placed in a prominent place within the community. The idea is to create dialogue about e-waste and raise awareness of the issue.
Our mural will be created by Jason Mecierborn in Las Angeles, America in 1968, and is now a practicing artist based in San Francisco. Mercier creates artworks of celebrities from trash and e-waste.  Mecier takes his inspiration from Pop Culture and in particular Andy Warhol.

What is a e waste?
Electronic waste, or e-waste, is a term for electronic products that have become unwanted, non-working or obsolete, and have essentially reached the end of their useful life. Because technology advances at such a high rate, many electronic devices become “trash” after a few short years of use.

This could be useful as a guide for working roles in the group. Also should we create a mission statement for the event?
Top ten tips for holding a public event

1. The purpose of your event  Mission statement

2. Who are you inviting? (or know your target audience)

3. Getting the word out  What types of media? Media coordinator

4. Overall logistics (from signage and parking to food) Coordinator Role

5. Engaging your attendees at your event Events coordinator; what will bring people to the event?  Famous artist? Food? Party atmosphere? Kids rides?

6. Giveaways Seek donations for free giveaways ie; samples or door/spot prizes

7. Be prepared for tough questions and the media (a.k.a. public relations 101) Media Coordinator

8. Staffing for the event Volunteers (where from?) Paid staff? How will we pay? Grant submissions?

9. Document your event Secretary to document and keep track. Treasurer also.

10. Debrief and review Most grants require you to prove your sustainability so a debrief and KPI session and after party celebration 😊

Sandy's notes for community arts project roles

# data[].attributes.body
Okay I'll try and get the ball rolling with some input. In the fine arts unit we have an assignment to propose an artwork to a specific site. One of the methodologies recommended to use was something like "what who where why when". I think the same thing would apply with what we are doing for a community arts project.

First figure out what exactly we want to propose, if it's a sculpture, a festival, a fete, handing out sausages in a bun etc. Then figure out the target audience and how we expect them to interact. Of course we need to figure out the site of where this will take place and the logistics of it. Then explain what the point of the project is and when it will take place (semi-permanent, ongoing etc). Something to think about.
