Global Inheritance invites you to get TRASHed at Coachella 2010

Global Inheritance, a non-profit group “working to reinvent activism for today’s young generations,” will be returning for their seventh year at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival in Indio, CA this April, bringing with them their TRASHed:: Art of Recycling program with them—in which contributors redesign recycle bins into works of art.  Recycling recycle bins, get it?

The group is currently accepting recycle bin design/ concept artwork at Coachella@globalinheritance.org, from which they will select 20 finalists to each design the 20 featured bins at Coachella this year.  In addition to their artwork being on display at the festival (as well as being placed in the L.A. School District after the festival), each finalist will receive VIP passes to the three-day music extravaganza, to be held on Friday, April 16th to Sunday, April 18th.  The contest’s deadline is February 20.

And for those eco-inclined music fans and hipsters for whom recycle bin concept art is not a skill, GI will be introducing a new installation at Coachella this year: Energy FACTory’s Sweat Shop Mixer—a contest in which festival-goers are given the opportunity to play a 30-minute DJ set of Coachella-curated acts.  Each day’s winner will score a set of VIP passes and food vouchers, along with gift packs.

The catch: each winner must bring along 12 friends, who will be used on hamster wheels, see-saws and handcranks to power all of the eco-friendly sound equipment (as for who will be fanning those people back to consciousness at the end of each set, that has yet to be revealed).   Burgeoning own DJs can enter by emailing their DJ sets to sweatshopMIXER@globalinheritance.org.
