“The Interweaving of the Synthetic and the Natural World”, is a co-created book highlighting research on plastic pollution. Through microscopic and landscape images, portraits of collected objects from the sea, and written scientific studies, the pages offer insight into current environmental challenges. Not quite a scientific lab book, and not quite a fine art book, the collaboration lives in the fundamental in-between zone. With scientific terms, and “I-Spy” inspired imagery, the interaction opportunities in the book grow, unlocking ways to see and understand pollution in a new way. Ultimately, the reader is confronted with personal questions: How can I help? What is my role in creating a sustainable future? Where do we go from here?
