Since the 1980s, revitalizing the economy has always been the country's development strategy.

Undersea Art Gallery That Ensnares Illegal Trawlers
Practitioner:
Paolo Fanciulli
Date:
Nov 15 2022
IT’S 7 AM, and a thin layer of mist still hovers over the harbor in Talamone as fisherman Paolo Fanciulli stretches out his nets. Pulling them out of a plastic tub, he examines them section by section, setting the ripped ones aside to be repaired. It’s a time-consuming process—one that’s occupied men from this tiny village on the coast of Tuscany for centuries.

MolleIndustria Video Games - McDonald's
Practitioner:
Molleindustria
Date:
Mar 7 2006
In this game, you own and operate McDonald's. You have the choice to try to operate ethically or make decisions like using genetically modified soy or administering bovine growth hormone. If you go the ethical route, you bankrupt the company and lose. The game then forces players to become "the bad guy" gleefully firing workers, plowing over rainforests, and bribing nutritionists in order to stay profitable.

Day Without Meat
Practitioner:
Animal Equality
Date:
Mar 20 2013
While this protest draws quick and reactive attention and awareness to the issue at hand; it does fail to make clear the message that they intend to protest. The audience, which seems to be the general public, may focus on the scandal of the protest. The the vulgar display people as a bloody pieve of meat. Yet, these shocking images do draw the viewer to the cruel way animals are handled by the meat industry.
