Official Trailer | Gyre: Creating Art From a Plastic Ocean

we were going to maybe the most
beautiful place in the world and instead
of being convened by the beauty or
convened by the garbage we’ve secured
scientists and artists to examine this
global ocean tragedy artists and
scientists share a lot of the same
concerns but they approach them with a
totally different toolbox it’s the
integration of art and science
understanding the sight of the content
but to then strike people emotionally
the whole project is unusual but we’re
also in not only unusual times we’re an
unprecedented times the plastic debris
has been accumulating here basically
ever since we started using plastics
it’s predictable where the trash will
end up we cook 40 tons of plastic on
these decent radius these are the ghosts
of our consumption the cultural
archaeology of our time right now I
particularly hate these
because I’ve seen albatrosses dead and
packed with them
marine debris is a global tragedy
have to touch a person’s soul in order
to change their behaviors
