The Parcel Project's research in Vermont is presented by SoAP in partnership with In Situ. SoAP, located in Europe, is a practice in which both the artistic work and the working method continuously emerge from and with the environment. In Situ is the European platform for creation of art in public space.

The Parcel Project is an art project and, at the same time, a journalistic experiment. Encased within a mailed box lies a discreet digital instrument, designed to capture audiovisual data from its surroundings. This sensory parcel embarks on a world journey.

The world of shipping and packages encompasses a vast and expanding global landscape. Driven by algorithms, machinery, and human resources: this system aims for utmost efficiency. It has profound ecological and socio-economic impact. As consumers, we are the reason this world exists, as all our material possessions flow through it. With the digitization of shopping, products seem just one click away. Yet we only have limited insight into the reality behind the click, which remains largely hidden.

The Parcel Project is on a journalistic mission to change this, by exploring it from within. As a spectator, you'll become the package. You're teleported into spaces that are normally inaccessible to humans, traversing the intricate network of our consumer-driven society.
