Ocean Plastics Lab: See – Detect – Act
PROJECT Ocean Plastics Lab:
See – Detect – Act
Advertisement
Traveling exhibition; started in Turin in September 2017 and has been touring the world ever since; Duration: 3 years
The traveling exhibition Ocean Plastics Lab is dedicated to a topic that is not new, but so very important to keep it in the spotlight — pollution of the oceans from plastic. According to the organizers, around 35 overseas containers of plastic land in the sea every hour. A number that, although widely-known, is shocking. It is this emotional moment of horror that the exhibition uses to engage visitors. Following the motto “See-Detect-Act”, guests are first confronted with a garbage avalanche which threatens to pour out of one of the four overseas containers into the public space. After this dramatic start, the participants will be informed at the other stations about the extent and effects of the pollution in order to ultimately experience the individual potential for action and solution. A beautifully made exhibition on an important topic that touches and involves!
