David’s Unusables

David's Unusables hijacked TradeMe (New Zealand's equivalent of eBay) to educate New Zealanders on Motor Neurone Disease. David, a man living with MND, sold his unusable belongings in a digital timeline reflective of his deterioration. Each listing told of his personal connection to the item, and revealed the devastating, symptomatic reasons it had become unusable to him. By doing so, the campaign turned online auctions into an education resource and generated vital donations at the same time.
