Community & School Screenings: Addicted to Plastic
Two screenings of the documentary Addicted to Plastic is anticipated for viewing, one in community of Coolum and one at Coolum State School.
Addicted to Plastic (Directed by Ian Connacher Produced by Cryptic Moth Productions) is a point-of-view style documentary that encompasses three years of filming in 12 countries on 5 continents, including two trips to the middle of the Pacific Ocean where plastic debris accumulates. The film details plastic's path over the last 100 years and provides a wealth of expert interviews on practical and cutting edge solutions to recycling, toxicity and biodegradability. These solutions - which include plastic made from plants - will provide viewers with a new perspective about our future with plastic.
Community & School Collection Points – recycled water bottles
Just how many plastic water bottles are in communities?
Collection bags will be distributed at various points in the community and school environment (pending permission). These points have the sole purpose for the collection of used water bottles. The water bottles will be used in the finished artwork outcome at Coolum.
Working with Coolum State School Senior Art Students
How do we deliver information?
It is common knowledge that we are overloaded with information on a daily basis. Environmental causes are often addressed only to the converted. So how do we deliver data differently?
This is an area open for interpretation through art and something to be investigated with Coolum High Students.
The involvement of students will be in a progressive way. Working with Trish Robson (Art Teacher) how the students will be involved will evolve.
At this stage I will propose to engage with the students in a number of avenues; research, multimedia debate & possible inclusion in the installation of artwork.
