“What do you get when you pair a scientific researcher with a textile designer? Designers fundamentally shape the way we live, while scientists pervade the very fabric of our lives. Nobel textiles involves a journey into the interface between science and design, a dialogue between leading researchers in both fields.”
“Illegal Logging” installation made out of recycled paper by Julie Dodd
Our ancient trees are disappearing rapidly and are greatly under threat from Illegal Logging. Deforestation means more carbon dioxide released into the air, which adds to our problem of Climate Change. But this isn’t the only problem it’s causing, it funds other criminal activities, threatens the lives of indigenous people and could cause irreversible damage to planet and animal life surrounding those trees.
Pinhegg, created by Francesco Capponi, is a pinhole camera crafted from an eggshell. The “camera” is only good for one shot and must be sacrificed in order to reveal the image.
