Human Rights: Innovations is the intersection of international law, science, and a touch of magical realism. Imagine a science fair of experiments and new technologies, with the sole focus of addressing major human rights violations facing the globe today. Some of them require technology that has not yet been invented, others require the finances and research to make them a reality, and others simply remain science and technological dreams. All of them together, however, represent the potential for innovative and creative technology to make considerable human rights change. One innovation for this multi-piece installation included the photo above, which was focused specifically on children's rights and the plight of child soldiers:
-Tiny radios that can be made invisible once placed in the ears of young children at risk of being captured to be used as soldiers. The radios, once activated in their ears, will provide useful information to youth on how to escape from their captors, how to return home, and how to identify safe bases from their rebel captors.
