Highlights of the Shore Debris Table at the openin

Highlights of the Shore Debris Table at the opening night of Plastic: Remaking Our World @natmuseum_sg. The shore table installation has always been about engaging communities through a tactile and close-up encounter with microplastic, so we are grateful to have the opportunity to reach out to audiences at the National Museum of Singapore, including Minister of Sustainability and the Environment @gracefu.hy, and various stakeholders in the arts and the environment!

Much thanks to our dear partners @natmuseum_sg, @thirtytwocm, @flybright.cr8, and curator @meahoffmann.

Knobs and blobs,
with many jobs.
Open and close,
keep them most.
Twists and turns,
less garbage burns.
Knick and knack,
We can lack.

Plastic Cent love them, once upon a time hate them

Plastic Cent
love them, once upon a time
hate them, half the time
need them, sometimes
they give them, most times
food scraps, from good times
hole at the bottom, bad times
double bag, auntie-uncle times
river trash, many times
5-cent charge, tough times
saved my life, all the time
.
Love them or hate them, we do need them, sometimes.

What is play? Perhaps it is simply having no fear

What is play? Perhaps it is simply having no fear of failing.
We created a participatory social sculpture where children and adults use scrap cloth from old shirts to make a free form web structure, building on a connecting node created by the previous person. Gravel, leaves and mulch reintroduce the sensations of physical balance, texture, and sound. Created for @playeum x SUSS Everyday Play event at One Punggol.

Using sensors to track the refills from Ayer Fount

Using sensors to track the refills from Ayer Fountains at the @theconsciousfestival last weekend, we estimated more than 600 single-use plastic bottles were diverted from Singapore’s waste stream in less than 3 days.
- The production of 600 single-use bottled water produces between 40-60KG of CO2 carbon emissions.
- It takes 2-4L of water to produce just 1L of bottled water.
- Half of what the world spends on bottled water annually can finance safe drinking water projects for hundreds of millions of people without it.
How can you play a part in the social and climate conversation? Try not buying that bottled water and #byob Bring Your Own Bottle to refill.
Much thanks to @nikoiisland @cempedakisland for sponsoring the fountains and @greenisthenewblackcom @southbeachavenuesg for supporting the project!
