Sticking Gorilla Coffee

“Gorilla Coffee” is one of many products that leverages the unique identity of a wild animal in its marketing. We don’t know if the coffee is good. As a company perhaps it is no better or worse than average. But in the interest of the animals represented in branding like this, Transnational Temps is advancing a campaign that brings both the company and the consumer into a dialogue about the real situation faced by endangered species like the one pictured on this bag of coffee.

We invite Gorilla Coffee to paste information about the mountain gorilla on its packaging. Did you know that only approximately 750 mountain gorillas remain in the wild? When images of wild animals are duplicated endless in entertainment, and product packaging, it can be easy not to notice that the habitats these animals need to survive are disappearing.

This picture is a simulation of the Gorilla Coffee product, improved by ecoartivistic intervention. This is an invitation for the company to contribute to the growth of consciousness about the ecological distress of endangered species.

Ecoartivismo on the Net

The title ‘ecoartivismo’ expresses the union of ecologically-themed art and ecological activism. It invokes the term ‘artivismo’ while attaching it to environmental themes like sustainability, extinction, climate change, and ecology. The site will be increasingly multi-lingual, incorporating the native spanish, french, and english of Transnational Temps co-founders Verónica Perales, Fred Adam, and Andy Deck.

Visit it on the ‘net at ecoartivismo.net.

Transnational Temps is working on a new section called Earth Art Mobile, starting with a series of works called “urban safari” that locates species in public spaces and documents them directly using mobile phones. The aim is to work in situ and find interesting and intuitive ways for eco-activism to share information online. If you want to access these mobile bloggings directly, please type: mobile.ecoartivismo.net You can even view it on your mobile phone!
