Ici, l'art sert une nouvelle fois la cause environnementale avec la réalisation d'un artiste vénézuélien de 23 ans, Oscar Olivares. Ce dernier a en effet conçu une fresque murale de 45 mètres de long, 7.25 mètres de haut en son point culminant et 3.5 mètres à son plus court. La première du genre dans le pays. Pour ce faire, pas moins de 200 000 bouchons de bouteilles en plastique ont été utilisés. L'œuvre peut être admirée sur le mur " Plaza Escalona ", situé dans la municipalité d'El Hatillo à Caracas. Plus de deux mois de travail ont été nécessaires avant d'arriver à un tel résultat .

Le projet mené en collaboration avec l'organisation environnementale locale OkoSpiri, qui en est à l'origine, et Movimiento en la Arquitectura para el Futuro (Mouvement dans l'architecture pour le futur). L'assemblage des bouchons offrent à voir une œuvre inspirée du pointillisme, où les nuances des couleurs et la taille des matériaux utilisés soulignent parfaitement ce qui est représenté. L'aspect esthétique de l'œuvre attire l'œil sur un problème d'actualité : le recyclage des déchets plastiques.

Como funciona? A artista usa moldes ou modelos subterrâneos que apresentam padrões derivados da natureza, muitas vezes incluindo hexágonos. Depois que as sementes são plantadas ao lado do molde enterrado, pode levar de semanas a um mês para que o trabalho cresça e tome forma. uma vez desenraizada, a criação é mantida viva com água e pode permanecer intacta por uma semana. embora ela muitas vezes deixe a estrutura da raiz presa à rocha ou planta, ela pode separar o padrão resultante para criar o tecido semelhante a renda. as raízes das plantas capturam carbono e podem ser um eco-material perfeito. o objetivo é a biofabricação: têxteis que crescem abaixo do solo sem usar energia externa. Acho que é uma ideia muito romântica

after perfecting processes of manipulating plant roots into intricate, textile-like patterns, diana scherer explores her work's potential as an applied material. the amsterdam-based german artist has long experimented with the below-ground plant parts, working with plant biologists at radboud university in nijmegen to better understand root systems. her 2017 series 'interwoven' exhibited braids, spirals, and delicate motifs, sparked an interested from the design world and brought attention to the possible applications of plant roots.

exercises in root system domestication | images © diana scherer

diana scherer's work is born out of a fascination with the manipulation of nature. describing her process to FRAME, the artist explains that she uses molds or templates below ground which feature patterns derived from nature, often including hexagons. after the seeds are planted alongside the buried mold, it may take from to weeks to one month for the work to grow and take shape. once uprooted, the creation is kept alive with watering and can stay intact for one week. while she often leaves the root structure attached to the rock or plant, she might otherwise detach the resulting pattern to create the lace-like textile. at exhibitions, the artist presents her work at three stages - the documented photos, the fresh living works, and the dried pieces.

exercises in root system domestication

diana scherer predicts that it will be another five years before her root work yields usable textiles. while a potential partnership with TU delft ahead, the designer addresses the main challenge which must be overcome before applying her explorations - the plant root textiles must be much stronger while maintaining their beautiful and lace-like quality. once achieved, the work could be applied in a range of industries, from fashion to architecture. the textile could become a wearable garment, or could be applied as an expressive insulation material. diana scherer continues in her conversation with FRAME: ' plant roots capture carbon and could be a perfect eco-material. the goal is biofabrication: textiles that grow themselves below ground without using external energy. I find that a really romantic idea.'

Cristina Coral’s ethereal photographs are studies of time and memory

# data[].attributes.body
O que é? Fotografias, nas quais, por meio de figuras solitárias, interiores ornamentados e composições ilusórias, são criados mundos oníricos.

Como funciona? Olhando as fotos de Cristina, podemos ver elementos de seu passado e seus interesses aparecendo. A arquitetura grandiosa e os interiores ornamentados são uma reminiscência dos edifícios palacianos de Trieste, enquanto as cortinas de veludo vermelho e os assentos enfileirados lembram o cinema ou o teatro. As composições cuidadosas e o posicionamento muitas vezes dramático das figuras em suas fotografias parecem igualmente cinematográficos e se assemelham a imagens estáticas de filmes ou da teatralidade do palco. Algumas de suas imagens baseiam-se em narrativas sobre “belezas ocultas” ou histórias contidas na sala, enquanto outras se concentram simplesmente na “geometria e minimalismo” do espaço. Todos, entretanto, estão conectados por um fio de nostalgia que permeia sua prática.

Quem está promovendo? A fotógrafa Cristina Coral.

Qual valor está sendo comunicado? A sensibilidade e a arte como expressão, sendo nela utilizada a bagagem e a essência da artista.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"Everyday life is my favourite source of inspiration, though memories are also a relevant theme and very present in my work," explains Cristina. "I think that our memories make us who we are. In my case, through my photography, I have discovered a lot about myself." Studying Cristina's oeuvre, we notice that the female figures in her photographs are always solitary, with multiple figures appearing only ever to be reflections or repetitions of the same figure. Sitting on chairs, covered by curtains, lying on floors, they seem almost to be a part of the furniture, as opposed to a human presence. Perhaps this can be interpreted as a nod to notions of memory, in which we frequently feel ourselves to be detached from our surroundings or from those around us. The world we inhabit in our memories is entirely ours and yet we feel somehow distant from it.

"Every single aspect [of my creative process] plays a major role in my photography," Cristina tells us. "I spend a lot of time scouting for the right place and when I find it I immediately recognise it because it activates my imagination - the space I choose must contain my ideas and my vision." This is evident in the images, with interiors that are either as important as the figure within them or otherwise swallow the figure almost entirely. The possible interpretations of each image are myriad - is there a narrative to be unravelled, a scene to unpack, or is it simply an exploration of space, texture, colour and composition? Cristina leaves it up to the viewer to decide: "My focus is the aesthetic. I would like for the picture's aura to be moulded by the observer."

L'artiste américaine Janet Echelman a installé une sculpture tissée composée de fibres bleues sur un site à la portée symbolique pour les revendications du mouvement " Black Lives Matter " en Floride.

Pendant ses recherches, elle a en effet appris que ce parc fut un lieu important pour le mouvement des droits civils, qui a débuté dans les années 1950, en tant qu'espace où les citoyens locaux protestaient contre la ségrégation. Ces manifestations avaient conduit à l'arrêté de la Cour Suprême des États-Unis de 1957, qui a autorisé les personnes de toutes les provenances culturelles à utiliser la plage et la piscine municipales, jusque là réservées aux blancs.

Bending Arc est une œuvre permanente suspendue au-dessus d'un parc herbeux surplombant le Pier District à St Petersburg, en Floride. Avec ces couleurs bleutées l'artiste reproduit un grand para-sol de plage voulant justement symboliser cet arrêté historique de 1957.

The Ori Cloud Bed, Table Edition gives off all appearances of a contemporary home office desk (or dining table), a surface that would naturally blend into an apartment, loft studio or even within a hotel room. It's also a design harboring an impressive hideaway feature nobody would suspect until set into motion.

A follow-up to the brand's Cloud Bed, Sofa Edition, this latest table edition operates with a similar push button ceiling drop mechanism that would make Kanye proud. The wall and ceiling unit houses either a queen or king sized Cloud Bed in a ceiling mounted position; at the push of a button the bed descends from the ceiling space while the table tucks down to floor level.

Designed for both residential and hospitality interiors, the transforming unit optimizes usable square footage by creating two spaces - a bedroom alongside a home office/dining room - all within the footprint of single space. In an era of working from home, the Ori Cloud Bed, Table Edition seems to arrive as a solution literally descending from above.

The entire system is UL certified with built-in safety features that include constant monitoring of the motors and obstacle protection to prevent accidental sandwiching between the desk and bed.

Now more than ever we need our living spaces to better accommodate our many needs for working, sleeping and living. Ori's new Cloud Bed, Table Edition makes the limited square feet of our spaces more usable and flexible - more livable. Adding the Cloud Bed, Table Edition to the Ori collection means developers have one more solution that can turn even the smallest apartment into a flexible and versatile space that adapts on demand to the needs of its residents.

- Hasier Larrea, founder and CEO of Ori
Ori says the Cloud Bed, Table Edition can be retrofitted into existing building layouts or incorporated into interior designs from the ground up. The system only requires a minimum 8'6'' ceiling height, part of an entire suite of space saving and transforming solutions able to eke out every square inch of functionality and storage with a handsome selection of designs.

When you buy a simple wool dress from an American company called Wool&, it comes with an intriguing invitation-to join a group of women wearing their wool dresses for 100 days straight. Why, you might wonder? Because it's easy, comfortable, natural, stress-free. More than a thousand women have completed the challenge to date and many more have placed orders for Wool& dresses in recent weeks. There's something magnetic about it that draws people in.

Curious as always, Treehugger reached out to learn more, and the company's customer experience manager Rebecca Eby sat down for a Zoom chat to explain what's going on behind this flurry of interest in wool dresses. "I started as a participant and now I'm an employee," she laughed, explaining that halfway through her own 100-day dress challenge, she saw a job posting on Wool&'s site and applied because she liked the company so much.

The idea for a challenge started with Wool&'s founder wearing a merino wool shirt for 30 days with great success. Once the dress line launched, a similar challenge was issued to 13 women to wear it for 100 days. "It just snowballed," says Eby. "It gained momentum and then the pandemic hit and it exploded. In a good way. The very best way. That is how it all started."

Eby said the brand is only three years old and the challenge has been ongoing for roughly two of those years, with 1,173 official participants so far.

I was surprised to learn that so many women would willingly wear the same thing day after day, especially during the lockdown. Surely they'd want to pursue novelty in small ways, like how they dress, when everything else feels the same? Eby disagreed, pointing out that the challenge gave many women peace of mind and a goal.

"People had to be home and there wasn't a lot to be excited about," she said. "This was something to do safely from home at a time when there was so much else going on in the world."

The simplicity of it also fits in well with the decluttering and minimizing that people were doing. "Purging clothes was a big theme, and this dress challenge went right along with it," she says. "Something about that clicked and everything just fell into place."

When I commented that 100 days seems like an awfully long time, Eby nodded sympathetically but pointed out the quality of the dress makes it feel shorter. She herself did a 30-day dress challenge before discovering Wool&, wearing a new polyester dress that she found at a thrift store.

By the end, she said it looked rough:

"It was pilling. I had to wash it every week because it stank. But when I got this wool dress and did the 100 days, I found it so much easier because I was in the right fabric, wearing the right piece of clothing. It was a totally different experience."

She says her whole relationship to clothes has shifted: "I don't want to wear anything besides wool!" One revelation was how amazing wool is, that it can be worn and reworn without stinking. "These aren't like the sweaters we wore as kids that were big and bulky and a little itchy," she says.

The challenge helped Eby to realize that she doesn't need as many clothes as she thought, can rely on a capsule wardrobe, and should be more critical about making new purchases.

We couldn't talk about the challenge without discussing the Facebook support group that, in some ways, has become the main attraction for many participants. Eby beamed when I brought it up, describing it as supportive and kind, a place where anyone who's doing the challenge, considering it, or is simply curious can come and find support.

"People post everything-pictures of styling the dress, personal stories that are resonating, advice for helping each other through. If you're doing a 100-day challenge for anything, at some point you are going to slump. 'I'm on day 62 and I just don't want to put this dress on for another day,' for example, and the community will help you figure out the next step that's right for you."

A peek into the Facebook group confirmed what Eby said. It does have an upbeat vibe, with one ambitious participant saying she's considering continuing past the 100-day mark to complete a full year challenge. A woman asked for advice on moving to an all-black wardrobe, and within minutes over 60 people had answered, "Go for it!" Someone asked for advice on styling; another shared stain-fighting tips.

When it comes to the technicalities of the 100-day challenge, it's not complicated. You're expected to wear the dress for eight hours a day or so, but you can take it off to wear other things if you must. "What about gym clothes?" I asked Eby, who told me that, yes, it's fine to change into workout gear, but that many people are pleasantly surprised to discover how active they can be in their wool dresses. "They tend to change less than expected." She pointed out that merino wool is now being used by many activewear brands.

Washing is up to each participant. Some people go the whole time without washing the dress, others do it twice, some every few days. "Many people find they really don't stink, so they may just spot-clean it. But," Eby added, "others have toddlers, chickens, and pigs, so they do have to wash it more!"

An important thing to remember: "It's not supposed to be a lesson in hardship so much as a challenge for your daily wear." There is value in that, and I suspect that the challenge aspect eventually morphs into a sense of liberation. Not having to pick a new or 'cute' outfit each morning eliminates decision fatigue, which is precisely why so many corporate executives establish a daily uniform.

The dress styles are basic, with natural-sounding names like Sierra, Willow, Rowena. They're meant to be "blank canvases," either worn as is or layered with belts, jewelry, or other accessories. They're made from Australian wool in South Korea, in factories with high labor standards that Wool& has inspected personally. For any potential customers concerned about low stock notifications on the site, Eby says that orders are constantly coming in. There's been such a surge of interest that it has had to readjust the quantities it purchases.

And if you're a dress skeptic (as I am, thinking of them only as a fancy-occasion outfit), Eby is confident that the challenge will convert anyone. "It's so easy and comfortable-a lot of people in the group are saying they never want to wear pants again."

If you are a parent or guardian, you are likely familiar with the scramble to buy clothes before a baby's arrival. Perhaps you know, too, the surprise that ensues when that baby does not fit any of the newborn clothes you so carefully selected and washed in advance - or grows out of them within weeks. Meanwhile, the clothes are in pristine condition.

That's where a new approach to clothes shopping could come in handy. Subscription and rental services aimed specifically at parents and young children are popping up across the United States and Europe because they meet a number of needs: (1) They keep clothes in circulation longer, which is good for the Earth; (2) they make financial sense for parents who save money on purchases and may want to earn extra by selling old clothes; (3) they are convenient.

While thrifted clothes and hand-me-downs have been a part of many childhoods for years, everyday children's wear has not entered the online shopping world in any major capacity until recently. Many of the well-known online rental operators cater only to women or focus on luxury-brand, formal-occasion wear only. But now with many parents expressing a desire to make more sustainable fashion choices, it makes sense that they'd want to extend it to their children.

Elizabeth Bennett writes for Eco Age that reselling children's clothes can save up to 75% of the carbon footprint associated with producing an item of clothing. Considering that children go through at least ten sizes before the age of three, and an average of 900 items in total throughout an entire childhood, there is great potential to reduce the environment impact of clothing with the help of these new services. There are different approaches.

Circos is a Europe-based company that ships internationally and rents out clothes for babies and pregnant mothers on a pay-by-month basis. You get a basic subscription and pay for whatever items you want to rent on top of that. Circos says its pieces are used by eight to 10 families on average, which is considerably more than the typical two- to three-month lifespan of baby and toddler clothing.

The site reads: "Circos' members help save an average of 242 litres of water and 6 kilos of CO2 emissions per month compared to parents who buy all of their children's clothes, according to a lifecycle assessment done by Danish consultancy firm, PlanMiljø."

Other companies function as online consignment and thrift stores geared specifically at children. Kids O'Clock sells kids' clothes at 60-70% less than new retail value, and you don't have to be a subscriber unless selling clothes. It's based in the United Kingdom but ships throughout Europe and the United States.

Company founder Laura Roso Vidrequin told the Guardian, "There is nothing new in buying old and selling old. I'm just shouting about it and making it accessible." She sees it as an extension of the sharing economy, a fashion equivalent of Airbnb and Zipcar, that's only going to get bigger as years go by. "Those kids who use Depop will be parents in five to 10 years from now. For them, [buying secondhand] is just everyday life," she adds.

Bundlee is another U.K. clothing rental subscription service for children age zero to four. You pick a monthly plan based on your needs and budget - either basic items chosen by Bundlee or brand-name pieces selected by you. With no time limits on swaps, you can use the pieces until your child is ready for a new size. The items are used by at least three families and the company estimates that renting one bundle saves 21 kilograms of carbon and the equivalent of 3,500 liters of water, according to Eco Age.

More conventional online thrift stores, like thredUP and Poshmark, have greatly expanded their children's wear sections in recent years, due to public demand. They have an impressive range of options and should be the first stop for any parent looking to add an item to their child's wardrobe before heading to a new clothing store. eBay, which was one of the first online sellers of children's wear, does not have the strong branding that many parents look for, but did say there was a 76% increase in secondhand kids' clothing sales in 2020.

While rental subscriptions and online thrift stores still don't beat the savings (both monetary and carbon-wise) of visiting a local charity-run thrift shop in person and stocking up on a season's worth of clothes for your kids, they're still a better option than shopping online for new items. Indeed, prioritizing rental schemes was a suggestion offered by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation in its 2017 report, "A New Textiles Economy: Redesigning Fashion's Future." It singled out children's wear:﻿﻿

"For garments where practical needs change over time, for example, children's clothes or those for one-off occasions, rental services would increase utilisation by keeping garments in frequent use rather than in people's closets."

Kelly Drennan of Fashion Takes Action said something similar in her list of 7 Rs for sustainable fashion. Renting is perfect for the "variety addict who wants to be more sustainable but cringes at investing in a slow fashion capsule" - but those same qualities make renting ideal for baby and children's clothing that can only be used for a short period of time.

Some parents may be worried about rental clothes getting damaged or worn out, but the companies are prepared for that. They reassure customers that wear and tear is a normal part of infancy and childhood and that if an item suffers damage, it could be re-listed at a lower price than before. The goal isn't to keep the clothing circulating forever, but just longer than it would if each household were buying it independently.

The return of basket dresses, hats and veils, XXL shoulder pads ... and what if fashion went back in time for social distancing? A not so absurd idea.

Masks, gloves and safety distances... Will the great artillery of barrier gestures encourage us to dress differently? This is why some fashion designers and designers who are reinventing our clothes are suggesting at the era of physical distancing. However, Vanity Fair reminds us, fashion as a "social distancing tool" is not new, evidenced by these recent creations which makes fun of past fashions.

The return of Basket Dresses

Appeared at the Spanish court in the 16th century, popular with women in the 18th, the structure of the basket dress made it possible, by optical effect, to widen the hips to refine the waist. On the podiums, she is making a comeback, although she has changed functions. Today, maintaining a distance between oneself and others would no longer be an indicator of social class, but of health security!

In Belgium, the design company Livable has brought the rattan cage up to date, a more absurd than viable creation that mocks the actual ambient paranoia.

At Multiply, a design studio, they are also revisiting the crinoline skirt, a garment originally worn to keep men and women at a reasonable distance.

At Area and Puppets and Puppets, two New York design studios, who also revisit basket dresses and "other pieces with oversized hips".

New hats and veils

Big stars of weddings and traditional ceremonies, hats and veils are also brought up to date, at Maison Margiela in particular where faces are covered with tulle or lycra - we remain wary of the effectiveness of these materials against the virus... But it's Fashion after all 😉

In the workshop of the Italian costume designer Veronica Toppino, the hats are transformed into aluminum structures and large halos allowing to respect, without too much force, the rules of physical distancing.

And even the Shoulder Pads...

Big losers of the 80s, they're also making a come back into the fashion scene.
At the Japanese labelComme des Garçons, they went strong with loose jackets, shells and frills on your the upper body.

Vintage clothing is going mainstream, and this is great news for the environment. Nordstrom has just announced a partnership with Goodfair, the company whose mission is to divert clothes destined for landfill, prepare them for resale, and distribute in themed bundles to customers across the United States.

Nordstrom is getting in on the secondhand action, adding Goodfair to its online store as of January 28, 2021. This is a first for the department store chain, establishing an entirely new category of vintage clothing and expanding its Sustainable Style category, which was launched to much fanfare in 2019.

A press release notes, "Customers can expect truly vintage pieces (made before 2000), including one-of-a-kind tees, brand-name jackets, old school sweatshirts and more, dropping monthly." These will range in price from $40-$80, hardly the discount vintage you might be accustomed to seeing.

Goodfair's CEO and Founder, Topper Luciani, told Treehugger that the company is thrilled to bring true vintage clothing to Nordstrom for the first time ever.

"By teaming up with Nordstrom, we're able to reach an even wider audience by meeting consumers where they're shopping during this time, which is primarily online, and [it] gives us the opportunity to educate them about the importance of buying used. Vintage has been dominated by a false scarcity effect and has been made less attainable to the masses, but our sourcing model at Goodfair allows us to access truly vintage pieces and provide customers an accessible and affordable way to participate in the green economy."

Nordstrom's Sustainable Style category includes products that use more eco-friendly materials (at least 50% organic cotton, recycled polyester and materials with certifications like bluesign® and Fair Trade Certified™); responsible manufacturing practices that ensure workers are paid fairly and not exposed to workplace safety hazards; responsible packaging that emphasizes recycled materials or "plastics already on their second or third use"; sustainably sourced ingredients for personal care products; and companies that give back to charities that benefit people, animals, or the planet.

Meanwhile, Goodfair will continue to maintain its own online store, selling themed bundles of used clothing. Customers shop based on a general category, i.e. a vintage T-shirt variety bundle, athleisure or crew-neck sweatshirts, trackpants, flannel shirts, denim jackets, retro knit sweaters, etc., and they receive a box without knowing what the specific items will be.

The goal is to prevent perfectly good clothing from entering landfills, squandering resources, and driving greenhouse gas emissions - and Goodfair is doing an excellent job of this. Its partnership with Nordstrom will draw even more attention to the importance of extending clothing's lifespan and make vintage clothing more appealing than ever by using a prominent platform.

Como funciona? Geralmente os produtos são feitos de plástico por uma questão de viabilidade, mas com essa técnica (que consiste em pequenos grânulos de polímero que são despejados na máquina, derretidos e injetados em um molde. os componentes resultantes são então convertidos em vidro de quartzo puro em um processo de tratamento térmico), é possível produzir esses produtos em vidro, de forma tão viável quanto se fossem produzidos em plástico.

the objects we use are often made of plastic as it's faster and more cost-effective to produce. but now, a team of researchers at the university of freiburg in germany has revolutionized production, meaning it could be mass-produced at the same price as plastic. led by professor dr. bastian e. rapp, and developed in collaboration with glassomer, the team has utilized injection molding to cast high-quality glass structures at a lower temperature, saving time, money and energy.
'for decades, glass has often been the second choice when it comes to materials in manufacturing processes because its formation is too complicated, energy-intensive and unsuitable for producing high-resolution structures,' said rapp in a statement via the university of freiburg. 'polymers, on the other hand, have allowed all of this, but their physical, optical, chemical and thermal properties are inferior to glass. as a result, we have combined polymer and glass processing. our process will allow us to quickly and cost-effectively replace both mass-produced products and complex polymer structures and components with glass.'

the research was published in science.
the technique begins with small polymer granules that are poured into the machine, melted, and injected into a mold. the resulting components are then converted into pure quartz glass in a heat treatment process. rapp and his team intend to apply the revolutionary technique to a number of commercial opportunities: from glasses to solar cells.

'we see great potential especially for small high-tech glass components with complicated geometries. in addition to transparency, the very low coefficient of expansion of quartz glass also makes the technology interesting. sensors and optics work reliably at any temperature if the key components are made of glass,' said dr. frederik kotz, group leader at the laboratory of process technology and chief scientific officer (CSO) at glassomer. ' we have also been able to show that micro-optical glass coatings can increase the efficiency of solar cells. this technology can now be used to produce cost-effective high-tech coatings with high thermal stability. there are a number of commercial opportunities for it.'

O que é? Uma carteira criptografada que se parece com um relógio.

Como funciona?o O Trove Coin é uma das três partes físicas de um conceito de sistema de armazenamento de criptomoeda impossível de hackear, criado em colaboração com a startup de fintech Trove. Atualmente um protótipo, o Trove é composto por Coin, Keep, Safe e o aplicativo Trove. Usado em conjunto, o sistema Trove oferecerá “uma maneira mais segura e confiável de armazenar e usar criptomoedas todos os dias.

Quem está promovendo? A marca Layer.

Qual valor está sendo comunicado? Segurança para quem o usa.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Designed by Benjamin Hubert of Layer, the Trove Coin wearable is one of three physical parts of an unhackable, unloseable cryptocurrency storage system concept created in collaboration with fintech start-up Trove. Currently a prototype, Trove is made up of Coin, Keep, Safe, and the Trove app. Used together, the Trove system will offer "a safer, more reliable way to store and use cryptocurrencies every day" according to Layer.

The Trove Coin is a 3mm x 20mm black aerated aluminium or silver anodised aluminium wrist device that, like a regular wallet, is a way to store currency for daily use spending and trading. The Coin stores its cryptocurrency offline on the hardware, rather than online, making it is less susceptible to hackers.

Unlocking the Coin requires an ECG signature, a biometric method of verification that recognises a user's unique heartbeat pattern, by touching the contact zone on the front. This then activates bluetooth, which communicates with the user's smartphone and allows funds to be accessed. Unlike other cryptocurrency wallets, which rely on complex password systems, it is theoretically impossible to lose or forget the authentication for Coin.

The Coin device is stored in Keep, a tactile volcanic rock and polycarbonate container powered by a USB-C port and inductively charges the Coin.

Says Layer, "The Trove Coin is designed to fit a user's personal style. It magnetically attaches to three different accessories - wristband, neck pendant, or brooch. The user has the option to openly display the Coin as a fashion accessory, or wear it in a more discreet manner."

The Trove wristband is an adjustable band made from a variety of Kvadrat textiles onto which the Coin magnetically attaches.

"The Trove necklace is a unisex cord necklace with an adjustable metal loop and a minimal pendant onto which the Coin magnetically attaches. The necklace can be reversed to hide the Coin and interchangeable decorative fascias - made from terrazzo, acrylic, or foamed ceramic - can be fitted over the pendant."

"The Trove Coin clip is a simple magnetic backing that transforms the Coin itself into a brooch-like accessory."

Trove Coin pairs with Safe, a personal home bank protected by ECG verification. "While Coin stores currency for daily use, Safe holds your decentralised personal wealth at home. It is designed to look like a wall tile that can be easily installed, like any other wall tile, so it is hiding in plain sight. Like the Coin, Safe is an offline cryptocurrency wallet, which only goes online when biometrically authorised to transfer funds. In this way, it is protected from hackers and password loss."

"The TROVE app makes interacting with cryptocurrencies easier and more approachable. The app design is simple and engaging, making use of clear text and graph elements and soft pastel colours."

"The TROVE app functions as a wallet for your various cryptocurrencies, and makes it easy to buy and sell cryptocurrencies and pay for everyday purchases. Users can easily see their spending history and how the value of the currency has changed over time, and also compare the performance of various cryptocurrencies, for example Bitcoin compared to Ethereum. There is also a tracking function, that enables users to know the exact location of their Coin at all times, and an AI financial advisor."

Jupiter Rising residency and festival literally gives a stage to marginalised groups in art and music

# data[].attributes.body
O que é? Um festival, chamado Jupiter Rising, que oferece palco para grupos marginalizados na arte e na música.

Como funciona? A New Angle é uma série editorial que visa fornecer uma plataforma para os agentes de mudança da indústria criativa que têm como missão romper o status quo. A cada semana, conversaremos com uma pessoa ou equipe que realiza um trabalho importante no setor, tornando-o um lugar mais justo, defendendo causas vitais, apoiando grupos sub-representados e abordando questões pertinentes que enfrentam os criativos em todos os lugares.

Quem está promovendo? Sarra Wild e Claire Feeley, co-fundadoras do evento.

Qual valor está sendo comunicado? A importância da inclusão e da criação de novas perspectivas na arte.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
CF: I'm looking to folk that aren't afraid to step outside their comfort zone or specialism - that is the place to meet people, to listen, to learn, to understand what the work is. Whether it's visual art, experimental music, film, moving image or even civic activism - it's all too easy to speak only to your own following. For that reason, I'm not going to speak of like-minded orgs, even though I love them. I love Gal-Dem for keeping journalism alive; Laurie Anderson for sheer creative force; International Anthem and Elastic Arts in Chicago for the music; Michael Clark for movement; Bev Glenn Copeland for their voice; and Scottish Rights of Way for making it a statutory law that I can exist in the landscape.

What are the major challenges you're facing?

SW: Lack of accessible physical space has been an issue lately. Even before Covid-19. That in itself is rooted in lack of funding and in the aim of trying to stay independent as a cultural curator dedicated to centring the experiences of marginalised artists trying to exist in a white, male-dominated industry.

What can the creative industry do to support your mission?

SW: Hire us, and by us I mean working class, queer Black and Brown folk and women. Give us the opportunity to reach and connect with our own communities. The opportunity to not only create but run our own forward-thinking, inclusive and accessible creative spaces is the way forward and for real/ lasting change to happen.

CF: Sarra makes a very good point about access. For cultural democracy to exist, to flourish even, we need a level playing field where grassroots and artist-led gigs, exhibitions and collectives can thrive. Giving us the basement in the pub on a Tuesday doesn't work anymore. Dare I suggest those city councils take a look at underused buildings and public spaces? Let's not forget history either - grassroots theatre flourished (albeit briefly) in the late 80s and early 90s. Can we learn from each other? Can we work together? Aside from that, do check out the artists involved in Jupiter Rising this year and support them where you can. Alongside OH141, we're working with the awesome Night School Records, Lost Map Records and sign up for the newsletter to hear the full lineup, released on 12 May.
Jupiter Rising takes place on 27 and 28 August 2021.

Plastic Waste turned into Bricks more Solid than Concrete

• O que é? Após ver a abundância de resíduos plásticos nas ruas de Nairobi, Matee deixou seu emprego e montou um pequeno laboratório (Gjenge Makers) no jardim de sua mãe, para reutilizar esses resíduos abandonados, ela obteve uma bolsa de estudos no laboratório de materiais da Universidade do Colorado, onde finalmente desenvolveu um protótipo para a máquina que agora produz os tijolos texturizados.
• Como funciona? Feitos de uma combinação de plástico e areia, os paralelepípedos têm um ponto de fusão acima de 350ºC e são mais duráveis que seus homólogos de concreto.
• Quem está promovendo? Nzambi Matee
• Qual valor está sendo comunicado? Além da reciclagem, onde a empresa Gjenge Makers reciclou mais de 20 toneladas de plástico, ela criou 112 empregos na comunidade e como grande parte do produto bruto vem de plantes e recicladores a empresa reduz o preço e torna mais acessível seu produto.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Avant de lancer sa société, Gjenge Makers, Nzambi Matee a travaillé comme analyste de données et ingénieure dans l'industrie pétrolière. Après avoir constaté l'abondance de déchets plastiques dans les rues de Nairobi, elle a décidé de quitter son emploi et a créé un petit laboratoire dans le jardin de sa mère, pour tester des combinaisons de sable et de plastique afin de voir si ces matériaux polluants pouvaient être transformés en briques de construction. Matee a finalement obtenu une bourse pour étudier dans le laboratoire des matériaux de l'université de Colorado Boulder, où elle a finalement développé un prototype pour la machine qui produit maintenant les briques texturées.

Fabriquées à partir d'une combinaison de plastique et de sable, les pavés ont un point de fusion supérieur à 350°C et sont plus durables que leurs homologues en béton. Matee et son équipe se procurent une grande partie du produit brut auprès d'usines et de recycleurs, et parfois gratuitement, ce qui permet à l'entreprise de réduire le prix du produit et de le rendre abordable pour les écoles et les propriétaires. Jusqu'à présent, Gjenge Makers a recyclé plus de 20 tonnes de plastique et créé 112 emplois dans la communauté. Un vrai exploit écologique !

O que é? O artista Nathan Shipley explora habilmente o uso da inteligência artificial para criar arte generativa.

Como funciona? Graças a ele, agora podemos ver como seriam as figuras históricas importantes se estivessem vivas em nosso mundo moderno. Assim, é possível descobrir fotos da Rainha Maria Antonieta, William Shakespeare ou mesmo do Rei Henrique VIII.

Quem está promovendo? Nathan Shipley

Qual valor esta sendo comunicado? Para Nathan Shipley, " a arte oferece um espaço onde podemos explorar algumas dessas questões. É um momento muito emocionante para a arte e mal posso esperar para ver o que eu e outros artistas continuaremos a fazer com este novo meio ”.

Nathan Shipley, artiste basé à San Francisco, explore avec talent l'utilisation de l'intelligence artificielle pour créer de l'art génératif. Ce travaille actuellement en tant que technologue créatif, et détient une formation en effets visuels et en motion design. Grâce à lui, nous pouvons désormais voir à quoi ressembleraient des personnages historiques importants s'ils étaient vivants dans notre monde moderne. Ainsi, il est possible de découvrir des photos de la Reine Marie-Antoinette, de William Shakespeare ou encore du Roy Henri VIII. Cette série de " re-créations " de visages a commencé en octobre 2020 et se poursuit. " Mon voyage dans l'utilisation de l'intelligence artificielle a commencé avec un premier projet de deep fake pour le musée Salvador Dali en 2018 (Dali Lives) et s'est poursuivi lorsque j'ai assisté à une conférence sur l'intelligence artificielle (plus précisément les GAN, ou réseaux antagonistes génératifs) au MIT en 2019. À partir de là, j'ai exploré l'utilisation de ces derniers afin créer de l'imagerie générative, des vidéos musicales et, plus récemment, pour transformer et animer des portraits " , explique-t-il.

" Lorsque les spectateurs voient mon travail, je veux qu'ils se sentent curieux et soient incités à poser des questions. Je choisis spécifiquement de montrer mes œuvres sous forme de diptyques, côte à côte avec leurs images originales, car le spectateur ne peut éviter de comparer la recréation avec l'original et de se poser des questions. Comment cela a-t-il été fait ? Comment cela fonctionne-t-il ? Pourquoi cela fonctionne-t-il de cette façon ? Qu'est-ce que cela signifie de voir une photographie de quelqu'un qui vivait avant que les appareils photo n'existent ? " , explique-t-il. Nathan Shipley pense qu'il y a beaucoup de questions sur la façon dont l'intelligence artificielle affectera le monde. Pour lui, " l'art offre un espace où nous pouvons explorer certaines de ces questions. C'est une période très excitante pour l'art et j'ai hâte de voir ce que moi-même et d'autres artistes continueront à faire avec ce nouveau média " .
