The project would be highly reliant on digital photo processing because the digital means of photography has drastically changed how we take pictures. Images used to be exclusively film-based, and so each image, whether it was shot with care or not, was a permanent thing. The negative was saved, and a lot of people today have boxes of negatives in their attics or garages that are slowly moldering away in the shadow of digital imagery. So instead of making images that are shot with precision and care and printed with the same level of precision, the project would involve images that are shot entirely off the cuff, snapshots, and would be printed on cheap paper and trinkets, things that people take and then forget or lose, and don't trouble themselves over. Moreover, to carry this idea of disposability to the maximum, all of the images would be simply given away at the end of the anticipated critique.
