Your Value or You Are Value is a financial-based reflection of the visitor’s life choices. Inspired by the insurance industry’s valuation of human life by calculating the projected economic loss to the families of the World Trade Center tragedy in 2001, urvalue examines how we see ourselves and others in terms of economic value rather than humanity. The site allows visitors to assess their own value using insurance company valuation tables and asks visitors to assess their daily activities in terms of financial costs and benefits and return on investment.
