Sea Heaven

An estimated 14 billion pounds of trash (most of it plastic) is dumped in the world's oceans every year. Plastic bags and other plastic garbage is thrown into the ocean kill as many as 1 million marine animals and birds in the Pacific Ocean every year. We, humans, are responsible for these actions and are not doing enough to revert this and fight the consequences. Sea Heaven is an interactive installation that gives a voice to those affected by this destruction. They seek help but can’t ask for it, we have to help those animals who suffer and be held accountable for our actions.

• Cut 6 PVC pipes to 7'
• Cut 8 PVC pipes to 3'
• Cut 2 PVC pipes to 2'
• Build structure using PVC fittings
• Make "walls" out of blue bubble wrap around the structure. You can use tape or staples to close any gaps you have.
• Cover all of the white spots you want with bubble wrap.
• Start pasting your trash to the bubble wrap walls with velcro dots (tip: take one velcro dot and paste it to your object, take the other side of the dot and smush it like a sandwich, and then place the sticky side on the bubble wrap wall).
• Decorate the hallway with trash as you wish, don't forget to cover it as much as you can.
• Place your circuit on top of the hallway, PIR sensor on whichever side and your speakers facing downwards.

Step into a magical world full of trash and suffering sea creatures. At least one piece of trash belongs to you… surprise! We were the cause of this, and now we are responsible to clean up our mess.
