Turning Smog Into a Public Park

Public Smog is a public park that fluctuates in size and location. Basically, the park exists as a construct in unfixed public airspace. It bases itself on the economics of air pollution: the emissions created by private individuals and corporations that is released into the atmosphere has become, in a sense, "public". The monetary value of these emissions is pooled together by the public into a public park — the public park being the collections of smog that is in our breathing space.

This is an ingenious way to gauge how smog is affecting all of us. By turning our airspace into a public park that is directly equated to the amount of smog we breathe in, smog is not just a necessary evil, but a very strong reminder of how pollutants are "bought back" into our living sphere.
