Green or Not: Personal Irrigation Sanitation System

P.I.S.S.jpg

Welcome to the Personal Irrigation Sanitation System, otherwise known as P.I.S.S. Here's what it is:

The concept derives from the drinking culture of modern society, and the urination that comes with such intoxicated states. Narratives provided a flow of products which helped illustrate ideas for ways in which to appropriate outdoor urination. These ideas used found objects which were either used directly or casts were taken from them. The found objects had a visual language which explained how each product should be used. In conjunction with the ericaceous plants and soil the urine could be disposed of efficiently without being a nuisance.

A little more on how this works? Filtration? Among things, I'd be worried my plants would stink.

yeah, I don;t really get it. If you're just peeing on your plants, you will kill them, despite the claims of mothers who let their children pee in public playgrounds (ewwwww!). Urine is not sterile once it leaves the body, it breeds bacteria. And it's too acidic to actually provide hydration or nutrients.

I have nothing against pissing in the backyard upon occasion, but in my own houseplants? Sounds like an art-school in-joke.

Also, dude in the picture outta man-up, and learn how to aim....
