Description/Abstract:

The workshop's primary objective is to visualize the future possibilities for ocean plastic de-pollution, using plastic disposal to co-create a 3D gyre installation. It will incorporate joyful activism, trash aesthetics and craft making.The workshop will be a participatory platform, facilitating rather than dictating. It proposes that a changing relation to disposal is a changing relation to oneself. The future aim of this ongoing design research is to co-create new discard values and induce community relation towards urban-ocean plastic waste on a small everyday scale. The process of making and visualizing will be initiated from the lantern fish's point of view and their mundane entanglement with gyre. Thus this workshop will attempt to socially narrate the quality of everyday life and global progress in more holistic terms than only the economic indicator of GDP or scientific marine data. When we transgress the surplus-driven consumer culture, taking the seemingly useless discarded plastic and transforming it into designed objects and 3D installations, we reveal how disposed materiality can contain a dimension for spaces of possibility, creating new values and even hope for global de-pollution.
